Amb. David Smith (Ret.) is a Senior Fellow at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies and a former top US arms negotiator. From 1989 to 1991, Amb. Smith led the US team in talks with the former Soviet Union to negotiate an agreement for deployment of defenses against the growing threat of ballistic missiles.  Now, the US and Russia are preparing to ink a new nuclear arms reduction deal to replace the old START treaty. But as the anticipated April 8 signing date approaches, Amb. Smith is urging close scrutiny of the terms of the pact. He spoke in detail about the nuclear issue in a radio interview on the The Jim Bohannon Show, which airs on stations across the country.
