Cold War Legacy of Arms Control Monitoring & Verification by CIA Retiree John Lauder (ZOOM Program)
Retired CIA, NRO and arms control negotiator, John Lauder, will talk about his time in these agencies and how intelligence was vital to all aspects of arms control during the Cold War. The US in particular built eye-watering technical intelligence capabilities for monitoring Soviet, and later Russian, activities and compliance with agreements which were adapted for use on other national security issues. Important human sources during the Cold War also increased confidence in strategic stability and the verification process. A combination of negotiated measures, intelligence monitoring, and analytical insights broke tough challenges into manageable pieces. A synergistic monitoring strategy and transparency measures refined approaches, methodologies, and definitions that remain relevant to future agreements. Join us to learn how negotiations and agreements of the 70s, 80s, and 90s established international precedents, effective partnerships, and shared understandings that could provide the basis for new agreements to end the war in Ukraine or to manage great power competition in space.
