This law divests us of all of our armed
forces! That means No Army! No Navy!
No Air Force! No National Guard!
George H . W. Bush! You
signed this into law! As
president neither you nor
the Congress were vested
with the power to deprive
this nation of its military .
SECTION 1. This Act may be cited as the "Arms Control and Dis- Arms Control
and Disarmament Act .
Public Law 87-297
87th Congress, H. R. 9118
September 26, 1961
SEC. 2. An ultimate goal of the United States is a world which is free
from the scourge of war and the dangers and burdens of armaments ;
in which the use of force has been subordinated to the rule of law? and
in which international adjustments to a changing world are achieved
peacefully. -It is the purpose of this Act to provide impetus toward
this goal by creating a new agency of peace to deal with the problem
of reduction and control of armaments looking toward ultimate world
disarmament..
Arms control and disarmament policy, being an important aspect
of foreign po licy, must be consistent with national security policy as
a whole. - The formulation and implementation of United States arms
control and disarmament policy in a manner which will promote the
national security can best be insured by a central organization charged
by statute with primary responsibility for this field . This organization
must have such aposposition within the Government. that it can
provide the President, the Secretary of State, other officials of the
executive branch, and the Congress with recommendations concerning
United States arms control and disarmament policy, and can assess
the effect of these recommendations upon our foreign policies, our
national security policies, and our economy .
This organization must have the capacity to provide the essential
scientific, economic, political, military, psychological, and technological
information upon which realistic arms control and disarmament
policy must be based . It must be able to carry out the following primary
functions
(a) The ?conduct, support, and coordination of research for
arms control and disarmament policy formulation ;
(b) The preparation for and management of United States
participation in international negotiations in the arms control
and disarmament field ;
(c) The dissemination and coordination of public information
-concerning arms control and disarmament ; and
(d) The preparation for, operation of, or as appropriate,
