CFR takes no institutional positions on matters of policy. Its scholars contribute to the U.S. foreign policy by making recommendations to the presidential administra- tion and diplomatic community or testifying before Congress. For instance, the council played a key role in policies such as mutual deterrence, arms control and non-nuclear proliferation.
