The Committee for National Security was based in Washington, D.C.
About
According to the IPS, the co-founder and senior fellow of Committee for National Security, Richard Barnet "played a major role in organizing" the Committee "to mobilize broad support for détente to counter the voices calling for a return to confrontation and intervention." Other CNS leaders included Paul Warnke, an IPS trustee and SALT II negotiator for the Carter Administration; and former CIA Director William Colby.
The ZilI report noted Warnke was working with American Committee on East-West Accord on a task force to implement the Kennan proposals on nuclear weapons cuts. CNS has a Global Task Force with Dick Ullman and Gus Speth on population and development issues; and has received funding from the Cos Cob Foundation "for work on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty [and]... a speakers' bureau to stress that this treaty is a part of the Nuclear Freeze Campaign."
Zill reported that Nancy Ramsey, former legislative director for Women's International League for Peace & Freedom and then coordinator of Americans for SALT before joining CNS, had resigned now that "CNS is off to a good start," has considerable media attention, and is raising a sustaining budget of $300,000 a year.[1]
