Legislation

The Council provides analysis of congressional legislation and other actions taken by members of Congress that impact national security and foreign policy. We also encourage members of Congress and their staff to consider the legislative analysis and research produced by the Council and our affiliated organization, the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation.
