I thank my wife, Kathleen M. Sykes, for her careful editing and advice. I thank Dan Davis, Paul Richards, and Frank von Hippel for carefully reading the manuscript and for their comments. I have worked with each of them on nuclear arms control issues for many decades. I also appreciate my many interactions on test ban issues with Charles Archambeau, Ola Dahlman, Göran Ekström, Jack Evernden, David Hafemeister, W-Y Kim, Peter Marshall, Meredith Nettles, and Gregory van der Vink. I also thank Kevin Krajick for his editing.
Many nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the United States have worked for decades to achieve nuclear test ban treaties. They include the following:
Arms Control Association
Center for Defense Information
Council for a Livable World
Federation of American Scientists
Friends Committee on National Legislation
Friends of the Earth
Institute for Science and International Security
Lawyers Alliance for World Security
Natural Resources Defense Council
Peace Action
Physicians for Social Responsibility
Stockholm International Peace Research Institute
I thank all of them for their long contributions to nuclear test bans and arms control.
