Major Fellowship Activities: Warren researched and wrote several articles for the Arms Trade News on issues such as the proposed Code of Conduct on arms sales, landmines and weapons profiles.  He also wrote news advisories and press releases, and as a result appeared on several radio programs to discuss these issues, including stations in Dover, DE, Indianapolis, Duluth and Rochester, MN, Columbus, GA and San Francisco.  He also had a letter to the editor published in the Washington Times.  In addition to his work with the CAT project, he co-wrote a position paper with John Isaacs on START III entitled “The Clinton-Yeltsin Summit Meeting: The Need To Negotiate A Framework Agreement On START III,” and an informational pamphlet on the excessive costs and redundancies of Stockpile Stewardship.   Additionally, he was able to attend several CTBT coalition meetings, a forum at the CATO Institute on nuclear weapon abolition, and congressional hearings concerning Ballistic Missile Defense and the ABM Treaty.
