| Definition Of: |
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency
ACDA is an independent agency within the State Department. ACDA participates in interagency working groups that discuss export license applications requiring dispute resolution. ACDA is interested in dual-use license applications from a non-proliferation perspective -- anything that could impact on the proliferation of missiles, chemical and biological weapons, and nuclear weapons. ACDA's positions need not be consonant with those of State. The Agency was created in 1961, has about 200-to-250 staff, and has a fairly substantial and growing technology transfer and export control function. The Director is the principal arms control adviser to the Secretary of State, the President and the NSC on conventional arms transfer, commercial sales of munitions; nuclear, missile, chemical and biological warfare; East-West military munitions issues, CoCom, and negotiating MOUs with the 3rd world on strategic trade.
