Declassified Documents from Reagan, Gorbachev and Bush's Meeting at Governor's Island, Published December 8, 2008 by the Council for Foreign Relations
This electronic briefing by the National Security Archive contains previously classified documents from U.S. and Soviet sources regarding the 1988 New York meeting between Reagan, Gorbachev, and Bush. The NSA's description says, "Previously secret Soviet documentation shows that Mikhail Gorbachev was prepared for rapid arms control progress leading towards nuclear abolition at the time of his last official meeting with President Reagan, at Governor's Island, New York in December 1988; but President-elect George H. W. Bush, who also attended the meeting, said "he would need a little time to review the issues" and lost at least a year of dramatic arms reductions that were possible had there been a more forthcoming U.S. position.

This paper suggests a new typology for analyzing nonproliferation prospects and challenges. It describes a project of the Program on Global Security and Disarmament that gives increased prominence to two groups: “genie states” — states that have the technical capacity to develop nuclear weapons but have decided not to do so, and non-state actors.
