Sidney David Drell (September 13, 1926 - December 21, 2016) was an American theoretical physicist and arms control expert. He was professor emeritus at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. Drell was a noted contributor in the fields of quantum electrodynamics and high-energy particle physics. The Drell-Yan process is partially named for him. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1949. He co-authored the textbooks Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Relativistic Quantum Fields with James Bjorken. Drell was active as a scientific advisor to the U.S. government, and was a founding member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group. He was an expert in the field of nuclear arms control and cofounder of the Center for International Security and Arms Control, now the Center for International Security and Cooperation. He was a Senior Fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution. He was a trustee Emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. James E. Goodby has served in the US Foreign Service, achieving the rank of Career Minister, and was appointed to five ambassadorial-rank positions by Presidents Carter, Reagan, and Clinton. Ambassador Goodby has worked with former Secretary of State George Shultz at Hoover since 2007. He is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. He was a Distinguished Service Professor at Carnegie Mellon University from 1989 to 1999 and is now a professor emeritus. During his Foreign Service career he was involved as a negotiator or as a policy adviser in the creation of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the negotiation of the limited nuclear test ban treaty, START, the Conference on Disarmament in Europe, and cooperative threat reduction (the Nunn-Lugar program). Goodby is the author and editor of several books. With Sidney Drell he wrote The Gravest Danger: Nuclear Weapons and the essay A World without Nuclear Weapons: End-State Issues. Goodby coedited Reykjavik Revisited: Steps toward a World Free of Nuclear Weapons (Hoover Institution Press, 2008) and contributed essays to Reykjavik Revisited and Implications of the Reykjavik Summit on Its Twentieth Anniversary. The mortal danger of nuclear weapons is unique in its terrifying potential for devastation on an unprecedented and unimaginable scale. In this book, Sidney D. Drell and James E. Goodby, each with more than twenty years' experience in national security issues both in public and private capacities, review the main policy issues surrounding nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. They address the specific actions that the community of nations, with American leadership, should take to confront and turn back the nuclear danger that imperils humanity. The nuclear genie, say the authors, cannot be put back in the bottle. Our most urgent task as a nation today is to successfully manage, contain, and reduce the grave danger of nuclear weapons, whether in the hands of adversaries or friendly states. This book hopes to stimulate active public dialogue on this important subject.

George Pratt Shultz (December 13, 1920 - February 6, 2021) was an American economist, businessman, diplomat and statesman. He served in various positions under three differe…nt Republican presidents and is one of the only two persons to have held four different Cabinet-level posts, the other being Elliot Richardson. Shultz played a major role in shaping the foreign policy of the Ronald Reagan administration. He graduated from Princeton University before serving in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. After the war, Shultz earned a Ph.D. in industrial economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He accepted President Richard Nixon's appointment as United States Secretary of Labor. In that position, he imposed the Philadelphia Plan on construction contractors who refused to accept black members, marking the first use of racial quotas by the federal government. In 1970, he became the first director of the Office of Management and Budget, and he served in that position until his appointment as United States Secretary of the Treasury in 1972. He accepted President Ronald Reagan's offer to serve as United States Secretary of State. He held that office from 1982 to 1989. Sidney David Drell (September 13, 1926 - December 21, 2016) was an American theoretical physicist and arms control expert. James Eugene Goodby (born December 20, 1929) is an author and former American diplomat. He became a Foreign Service Officer and remained in the Foreign Service until his retirement in 1989. Drawn from the third in a series of conferences the Hoover Institution at Stanford University on the nuclear legacy of the cold war, this report examines the importance of deterrence, from its critical function in the cold war to its current role. Recognizing that today's international environment is radically different from that which it was during the cold war, the need is pressing to reassess the role of nuclear weapons in deterrence in the world of today and to look ahead to the future. Among the topics addressed are: Deterrence, Nuclear Weapons, Decision-making, Arms Control, Verification, Compliance, and Enforcement.

The Conference was sponsored by the Hoover Institution and the Nuclear Threat Initiative. Drawn from presentations made at the Hoover Institution's October 2007 conference, this collectio…n of essays examines the practical steps necessary to address the current security challenges of nuclear weapons and to move toward the goal Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev envisaged in their historic meeting at Reykjavik: the elimination of all nuclear weapons. The distinguished group of contributors includes former officials of the past six administrationsRepublican and Democraticalong with senior scholars and scientific experts on nuclear issues. They discuss the critical issues involved in reducing the number of weapons, preventing the growth of new nuclear weapons capabilities, securing nuclear stockpiles worldwide, the challenges of verification and compliance with treaties to prevent nuclear weapons proliferation, preventing the spread of technology for nuclear fuel enrichment and reprocessing, dealing with regional animosities, and engaging the entire international community in the joint enterprise of reducing the nuclear threat. Among the contributors were: David Holloway, Bruce Blair, Rose Gottemoeller, Raymond Juzaitis, Robert Einhorn, Jack Matlock, Max Kampelman, Sidney Drell, George Shultz, and Henry Rowen.

This study's purpose is to stimulate further discussion and analysis, at both the conceptual and practical levels. For purposes of this study, we assume that the end state will be reached through successive stages of nuclear reductions that resemble the following: 1. The United States and Russia reduce to low numbers (200-500) operationally deployed warheads and bombs of all types; France, China, and the United Kingdom accept ceilings at less than 200; and India, Pakistan, and Israel freeze at then-current levels (assumed not to exceed approximately 100). 2. Each nuclear-armed state reduces deployed warheads to zero and non-deployed warheads to no more than 200, after which each nuclear-armed state might reduce the latter category to an interim number of 50-100 apiece. A variant could have a mix of 50-100 operationally deployed or declared reserve warheads retained by each state while all other warheads are eliminated. 3. Finally, each nuclear-armed state reduces warheads to zero while retaining monitored reconstitution capabilities within agreed parameters and for a period of agreed duration. Although those numbers are hypothetical, they provide a framework for examining key security issues that the United States and other nations will face as they approach and enter the end state.

He taught at Georgetown, Syracuse, and Carnegie Mellon Universities and is Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus at Carnegie Mellon. Ambassador Goodby has worked with former Secretary of State George Shultz at Hoover since 2007. He is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. Selected for the US Foreign Service through competitive examinations in 1952, Goodby rose to the rank of career minister in the Senior Foreign Service and was given five presidential appointments to ambassadorial rank, including ambassador to Finland (1980-81). During his Foreign Service career he was involved as a negotiator or as a policy adviser in the creation of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the negotiation of the limited nuclear test ban treaty, START, the Conference on Disarmament in Europe, and cooperative threat reduction (the Nunn-Lugar program). Goodby is the author and editor of several books. He wrote At the Borderline of Armageddon: How American Presidents Managed the Atom Bomb. With Sidney Drell he wrote the essay A World without Nuclear Weapons: End-State Issues.
