"sometimes insistence on 100 percent security actually impairs our
security, while the bold decision - though at the time it seems to
involve some risk - will give us more security in the long run." 

						-- Hans Bethe
						   Atlantic Monthly
						   August 1960

He was talking in support of the Limited Test Ban Treaty, but his words
are relevant to the desire to control delegation.
