The Nonproliferation Policy Education Center has distinguished itself with its no-nonsense analyses and strong advocacy for robust nonproliferation policies. The organization's leadership ranks in the top tier of experts that the Committee on Foreign Relations looks to for testimony on difficult issues.

For 15 years, no individual or organization has spent more time studying the risks associated with the spread of civil nuclear power technology and the failure to deal with the nuclear weapons programs of Iran and North Korea as Henry Sokolski and the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC).  As the threats of nuclear terrorism and proliferation continue to dominate national security policy debates, both Sokolski and NPEC will continue to provide a vital service to the legislative and executive branches.

Senator Jon Kyl
Assistant Minority Leader (Republican Whip)

NPEC is fearless.It never hesitates to speak out for nuclear nonproliferation as the top national security priority of the United States, regardless of whose feathers get ruffled.Its work is always provocative, informative, and useful to those of us who are deeply interested in these issues. Congratulations!

Congressman Howard Berman
Chairman
House Foreign Affairs Committee

NPEC and its guiding light, Henry Sokolski, have for fifteen years performed an invaluable service to our country on the critical threats posed by proliferation. They have provided evidence, analysis and opinion to inform and enhance our policy debates, and in so doing earned the respect of all the participants in that debate, no mean accomplishment in Washington these. Although I wish the world were such that we didn't have to wish Henry and NPEC well for another fifteen years, we do, and we should.  Best of luck! 

Ambassador John Bolton
AEI, former Under Secretary of State
UN Ambassador

Henry Sokolski and the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center have been for many years top resources for my work on nonproliferation issues. NPEC’s commitment to reducing the nuclear threat is second to none.

Congressman Ed Markey
Chairman, House Energy and the Environment Subcommittee

The Nonproliferation Policy Education Center headed by Henry Sokolski has repeatedly proven to be an indispensable source of expertise for the Congress in its work on nuclear issues.  Through testimony to the Foreign Affairs Committee, the many papers produced by NPEC, and his analysis of complex issues, he has contributed significantly to the Committee’s many accomplishments in this area.  I look forward to continuing to working closely with NPEC for many years to come.

Ilena Ros-Lehtinen
Ranking Member
House Foreign Affairs Committee

NPEC stands out among the many groups that provide analysis and information about nuclear nonproliferation because it focuses on something that receives less attention than it should – namely, the proliferation impacts of civilian nuclear cooperation.  You can count on NPEC to provide incisive analysis of nuclear nonproliferation issues from diverse points of view.

Congressman Brad Sherman
Chairman
House Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade

Nuclear proliferation is a vexing policy challenge.  The Nonproliferation Policy Education Center is an invaluable resource for Members of Congress and their staff as we grapple with these critical issues.  Its Expertise is needed now more than ever.

Congressman Ed Royce
Ranking Member
House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade

NPEC and Henry Sokolski are a steady source of penetrating analysis and innovative policy recommendations.  They are an exceptionally creative players in the nonproliferation field. 

George Perkovich
VP for Studies and Nonproliferation Program
Director, The Carnegie Endowment

I am deeply impressed with NPEC’s mastery of a broad range of nonproliferation topics and the depth of analysis reflected in its profusion of publications.  NPEC is widely respected for distilling complex nuclear threat issues down to their essence and providing timely, actionable, and eminently sensible policy recommendations.

Few nonproliferation policy shops, including the big ones, have accomplished as much as NPEC.

Victor Gilinsky
Former NRC Commissioner

Anyone with a serious interest in nuclear proliferation needs to track NPEC's reports. NPEC provides not only up-to-date information, it exposes the considerable array of follies and contradictions in our policies. It is a one- stop shop for sanity on technology, economics, politics and bureaucratic behavior.

Henry Rowen
Hoover Institution
Former RAND President
Chairman, the National Intelligence Council, and Assistant Secretary of Defense

NPEC is a vital and effective world leader in the deadly serious business of stopping the spread of nuclear weapons. If we don't want to lose a city, or worse, we should support NPEC's work now.

Amory Lovins
Rocky Mountain Institute

Nuclear proliferation is a complicated intellectual field and a difficult practical challenge. If we succeed in coming to grips with the challenges we face, it will be in large part because of the fearless and first-rate work of NPEC.

William Kristol
Editor
The Weekly Standard

Thanks to the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center no one dealing with nuclear non-proliferation policies and issues will ever be able to say "I didn't know", "I didn't realize" or "what else could have been done?" This, by itself, is a major accomplishment.

Pierre Goldschmidt
Former Head of the IAEA
Department of Safeguards

There are many think tanks in Washington. Very few of them can be described as invaluable. NPEC is one of those few. In an era where no issue matters more -- or is thought about less -- than nuclear proliferation, NPEC has consistently provided the most comprehensive and intelligent analysis available.

Bret Stephens
The Wall Street Journal 

NPEC has commissioned landmark research reports on  nuclear-proliferation-related issues and plays an important role in Washington's nuclear-policy debates as an expert and effective nuclear iconoclast.

Frank Von Hippel
Princeton University
Co-chair International Panel on Fissile Materials

No organization speaks as forcefully and cogently on the range of topics influencing our thinking about nuclear power and proliferation as does NPEC.

Jeff Kueter
President
The George Marshall Institute

The Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC) has made major contribution for U.S. policies to halt the spread of nuclear weapons and educated indeed. Congressional Commission on the U.S. Strategic Posture upon which I served certainly benefited from NPEC’s studies; in particular its analysis regarding fissile material controls. 

Fred Ikle
CSIS
Former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy and Arms Control

In a town where institutions tend to stake out predictable and not very original positions, NPEC cannot be easily pigeon-holed.Its honest, hard-hitting analysis has often made administrations of both parties uncomfortable –and that’s probably a good thing.

Robert Einhorn
U.S. Department of State

NPEC has consistently been way ahead of the curve. Not only does NPEC identify problems long before they hit the front pages, it has an excellent record at bringing together regional experts with strategic thinkers. It also thinks seriously about how the other side will try to counter whatever approach the United States adopts and realizes that foreign policy problems usually require an ongoing campaign, not just immediate policy steps. 

Patrick Clawson
The Washington Institute for Near East Policy

“Henry Sokolski's work earns wide regard because it is both informed and trenchant. His analysis offers valuable insights and presents important challenges—not only to those who have advocated prior non-proliferation initiatives but to those who contend that there are better options.

Alton Frye
Vice President
