Acknowledgments
This is the latest in a series of reports by the World Policy Institute’s Arms Trade Resource Center on Peddlers of Proliferation, analyzing the role of the arms lobby in shaping U.S. strategic policy. The authors would like to thank Center Research Associate Jonathan Reingold for carrying out primary research on ties between Bush administration appointees and the arms and energy industries. This data was originally featured in our May 2002 report on the evolution of the Bush nuclear doctrine, About Face, and we drew upon it for the analysis of the missile defense lobby presented in this report.
The Center would also like to thank the following foundations and individuals who have provided support for our work on the arms trade, military spending, missile defense and nuclear weapons issues: the CarEth Foundation, the Compton Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the HKH Foundation, the W. Alton Jones Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the John Merck Fund, the Ploughshares Fund, Rockefeller Family Associates, the Samuel Rubin Foundation, Margaret R. Spanel,
the Town Creek Foundation, and Mary Van Evera.
