Principal Research Scientist, RAS Elorma Program Former Deputy Chief of Procurement, Soviet Ministry of Defense The constructive discussion on the dangers of a spontaneous and uncontrolled dissemination of "dual-use" technologies under the conditions of conversion both confirmed our mutual understanding of the importance of this problem and compelled both sides to search for radical ways of solving it. Indeed, the fact that the world, and especially the West, has become highly explosive and vulnerable to the power of not only nuclear weapons but also conventional high-precision weapons is becoming more and more obvious to specialists and clearthinking politicians.

. And, finally, the high technical complexity of highprecision weapons attracts practically every conceivable scientific endeavor, among which we give the priority to optical electronics, information science, and computer engineering, as well as engineering of new materials and substances.

exist, and for taking political, economic and other measures for blocking of these concentrations in a timely manner. Third, all progressive scientists should direct the attention of the world community toward the necessity of developing principles and criteria for evaluating the development of armed forces and armaments with a purely defensive structure and composition, and reliable and distinctive external indications of defensive weapons, which, along with on-site inspections, wait increase mutual trust, eliminate unjustifiable menacing actions by peaceful countries and will assure timely discovery of any preparations for war or aggression.

, since these countries possess strategic nuclear weapon delivery systems. Sixth, American and Russian scientists, as well as scientists of other western countries that produce and export weapons, should create a data bank on critical parameters of high-precision weapons, and an international data bank of strategic and military-technical concepts, definitions and terminology.
