From the publication:
FOREWORD CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES, Washington, DC, June 27, 1985. As the 40th anniversary of the first, and hopefully the last, use of nuclear weapons draws near, we can be thankful that only five nations today have nuclear arsenals and only one other nation has tested a nuclear explosive. A world with more nuclear weapons states would certainly be more dangerous and would pose a greater threat to our national security and foreign policy interests. Nonetheless, many states are acquiring parts of the nuclear industrial base needed to produce the materials to make nuclear weapons. While some of these states have foresworn the acquisition of these dread weapons, others are ambiguous in their attitude, or appear to desire a capability to quickly make nuclear weapons. This expanding access to the technologies, facilities and materials of nuclear energy, as well as new technological developments, have made the task of guarding against their diversion to military purposes both more difficult and more important.
