ACKNOWLEDGMENT This bibliographic survey was prepared by Harry Moskowitz and ANALYSTS' NOTE This analytical survey of literature on arms control was prepared by the research staff of the Army Library at the request of the Department of Defense. It aims at highlighting the national security needs of the United States that catapulted the subject of arms control into its present position of urgency. It deals with the objectives of arms control, the problems involved, and the avenues and approaches that are available or must be yet explored along the road of attainment of the final goal. In May 1960 the Army Library prepared a bibliography at the request of the Office, Special Assistant to the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Disarmament Affairs. The Bibliography was titled "Disarmament: A Bibliographic Record 1916-1960." The current effort not only continues where the previous compilation left off but also surveys the field of arms control as it relates to the various areas of U.S. policy, strategy, and defense. The President's Defense Budget Message to the Congress on 28 March 1961 (see Appendix D) was used as a guide in the preparation of this bibliography. The Message clearly spells out the principles upon which the U.S. policy on arms control stands. The President stated: "The primary purpose of our arms is peace, not war--to make certain that they will never have to be used--to deter all wars, general or limited, nuclear or conventional, large or small--to convince all potential aggressors that any attack would be futile--to provide backing for diplomatic settlement of disputes-to insure the adequacy of our bargaining power for an end to the arms race. A great spate of literature had been published during the period 19601961 covering every conceivable angle of defense, deterrence, and response in case of an enemy attack on the United States. This bibliography covers some of the great outpouring of proposals, suggestions, and recommendations as to policy, strategy, concept, and doctrine. The Analysts of the Army Library made every endeavor to provide maximum information within their abstracts and, when necessary, resorted to some unorthodox and bold techniques in order to make this bibliography as utilitarian as possible. " For the most part, the materials listed are available in the holdings of the Army Library, The Adjutant General's Office, Headquarters, Department of the Army. The Analysts extend grateful appreciation to Franklin P. Huddle of the Office of the Director of Defense Research and Engineering for many fruitful discussions while this study was in preparation.
