Thanks to all of you who participated in last month's discussion on the military budget.

For our February 25th meeting of the Study Group on the Economics of Security in the Post 9-11 World, we are pleased to announced that Leon V. Sigal will be presenting on North Korea, and continuing multi-lateral efforts for non-proliferation there.

Mr. Sigal, who is just back from meetings in the region, is the director of the Northeast Asia Cooperative Security Project at the Social Science Research Council in New York. His most recent book, Hang Separately: Cooperative Security Between the United States and Russia, 1985-1994, was published by the Century Foundation in 2000.

We will send out more information about Sigal's talk next week. But, in the meantime, mark the meeting in your calendar, and let us know if you can participate.
