| | U.S. NGOs Coordinate to Revitalize Arms Control Efforts |
 | | The coordination effort, financed so far mainly by the Ploughshares Fund, was spurred by hard times experienced by the arms control and peace community since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the document says. |
 | | “This is certainly not an effort to impact the elections,” said Naila Bolus of the Ploughshares Fund, a member of the core drafting committee. |
 | | “But, it is an effort that recognizes that these issues are front and center in the public debate and that this community certainly be more effective in crafting its message, in disseminating its message, in building partnerships with other likely allies, and being more strategic in its approach to public education efforts,” she said. |
