The U.S. Delegation represents the United States at the Conference
on Disarmament, the world's principal multilateral non-proliferation
and disarmament negotiating forum. The CD meets each
year in Geneva for a three-part annual session to consider
and negotiate multilateral arms control and disarmament treaties.
A key U.S. objective within the CD at the current time is
the negotiation of a Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty.
The U.S. Representative to the Conference on Disarmament also
leads the U.S. Delegation to the United Nations First Committee
(Disarmament) at its annual meetings in October.
