Scope and Contents Note

From the Collection:

The R. Joseph DeSutter Collection of U.S. National Security Documents contains materials related to U.S. national security and arms control from the 1980s to the 1990s. They were collected as part of DeSutter's work in the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton administrations as a national security advisor. DeSutter was a White House expert on the Strategic Defense Initiative and its relation to the ABM Treaty; ongoing arms control negotiations; verification and compliance; national space policy; and technology control regimes. Some of the documents belonged to Paula DeSutter, who was also a government advisor on these topics. The documents include government reports, testimonies, speeches, memoranda, gray literature from think tanks and the defense industry, meeting notes, press releases, and clippings. The materials were mostly collected by DeSutter for his research and not written or created by him.
