The Obama Administration proposed an ambitious and expensive nuclear modernization program to replace all legs of the Triad — submarines, ICBMs, and bombers — with a new system. The Trump Administration will need to decide whether to follow this or some other program. The Honorable John M. Deutch will describe how this decision should be approached that closely follows how Senator Jackson and Secretary Schlesinger would have proceeded.
Join us for a special evening in honor of the inauguration of the Henry M. Jackson/James R. Schlesinger Distinguished Visiting Lecture Series. With funding from the Jackson Foundation, The Henry M. Jackson/James Schlesinger Lecture Series supports a Distinguished Practitioner-in-Residence at the UW Jackson School of International Studies.
When: Thursday, March 9 2017, 7:30-9:00 p.m.
Where: Kane Hall (KNE), Walker Ames Room, University of Washington
This event is free and open to the public.
