	Scientists Want Nuclear Arsenal Cut
		WASHINGTON –– As President Bush prepares for summit talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, 16 American scientists and security experts are urging him to sharply reduce the U.S. nuclear arsenal to a total of 1,000 warheads.
		The cutback, urged by the Federation of American Scientists, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Union of Concerned Scientists, would include the elimination of 1,670 tactical nuclear warheads that remained after former President George H.W. Bush deactivated almost all the weapons in the category in 1991.
		The scientists and security experts would cut back much further and are skeptical of Bush's plan for an anti-missile shield.

		Of course, a loss of investment opportunities is not the only way Americans are impacted by the weapons trade.
		In addition to paying billions of dollars every year to support weapons exports, Americans may also feel the impact of increasing instability overseas.
