About the author
The United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, often called ACDA, was an independent U.S. government agency established in 1961. Its mission was to help shape, negotiate, and support arms control and disarmament policy, especially in the nuclear age.
ACDA played a role in major international efforts tied to arms control and nonproliferation, and records from the agency are now preserved in U.S. archival collections. The agency existed until 1999, when its functions were absorbed into the Department of State.
Because this is a government body rather than an individual author, a standard personal portrait is not appropriate here.
