Incorrect information

edit

The opening infobox has a lot of information that is not really correct. ACDA was merged with the State Department's PM Bureau to produce three new Bureaus: Nonproliferation (NP), Arms Control (AC), and Political-Military Affairs (PM). But in the simplest terms the superseding agency was the Department of State. Several reorganizations later (in 2000 the Bureau of Verification and Compliance (VC) was split from AC; in 2006 AC, VC and NP were recombined into International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN) and Verification, Compliance and Implementation (VCI); in 2010 ISN and VCI were "realigned" and VCI was renamed Arms Control, Verification and Compliance (AVC)). The last Director of ACDA was John Holum. Rose Gottemoeller was never and is not now ACDA Director. This implies an extensive revision. Any objections?

I've revised the article by stripping out almost all the post-ACDA State Department material, which properly should be covered by the articles on the bureaus involved. This article should just be about ACDA from 1961 to 1999, when per this Dept of State page it is considered to have ceased to exist. Wasted Time R (talk) 01:41, 15 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
