Experience shows that a strategy of simply denying U.S. nuclear exports to countries that refuse to accept full-scope safeguards is not very satisfactory. Soon after the nonproliferation act was passed by Congress, for example, some U.S. legislators demanded that the Administration suspend a contract to supply fuel to India's two U.S.-built Tarapur power reactors. The installation has been governed by international safeguards since 1963, but India refuses to accept the principle of all-embracing inspection. In retaliation for the U.S. pressure, New Delhi warned that it would void the existing Tarapur safeguards agreement. If carried out, that...

Says Amy Harris: "This might be thought of as a recipe book, as opposed to a book on the theory...
...conduct of the University. The CRR, on the other hand, exists to address cases involving violations of the second and third paragraphs of the Resolution on Rights and Responsibilities, which address violations of more general civil rights and freedoms. Such cases are likely to involve issues of wider scope than are motivated actions. The CRR was created during the violent political protests of the late '60s and early '70s with the express purpose of providing students accused of such violations with a more responsive and flexible disciplinary body than the Administrative Board...
