   Major Fellowship Activities: While at FAS, Bleek focused on ballistic missile defense and dealerting of nuclear weapons. He published three op-eds on national missile defense: "Missile Defense: A Dangerous Move" in the Washington Post and International Herald Tribune (with Frank von Hippel); "Missile Defense: A Threat to US Security" (with Charles Ferguson) which was carried by the Knight-Ridder Syndicate and ran in the Miami Herald, Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal and Rome (GA) News-Tribune; and "Nuclear Dominoes," through Scripps Howard News Service which was printed in the Deseret News and Nando Times. Bleek also published two letters-to-the-editor: "Nuclear Stalemate" in the Washington Post and "More Reaction to the Test Ban Treaty Vote" in the Washington Times (with Charles Ferguson).

   At ACA, Bleek worked on strategic nuclear issues, missile defense, the comprehensive test ban, and fissile material protection, control, and accounting (MPC&A) efforts in the former Soviet Union. He published several short articles in Arms Control Today including "US, Russia Negotiate Spent Fuel Reprocessing Moratorium," "US, Russia Reassess Reactor Conversion Agreement," "Russia Adopts New Security Concept; Appears to Lower Nuclear Threshold" and "After Stumble, HEU Deal Back on Track." He helped one of Senator John Kerry's aides write a foreign policy speech in which the senator compared the U.S. and Chinese nuclear arsenals. He was cited in an "Inside the Air Force" article: "Senate Armed Services Chief Declares Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Dead" arguing that while the CTBT may not be 100% verifiable, ratifying it is nonetheless in the best interests of the United States. He attended the Carnegie Endowment's International Non-Proliferation Conference 2000, and served as a rapporteur for the "Missile Defense: Will It Work?" panel. He published a letter to the editor in the Los Angeles Times: "U.S. Nuclear Missile Shield" (with Charles Ferguson).
   
   Current Activities: Bleek is pursuing a PhD in the Department of Government at Georgetown University where he is focusing on a range of nuclear weapons issues, from proliferation through deterrence. He is also a Visiting Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies where he is working on bioterrorism issues with former Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig. He is a recipient of the Hopper Memorial Fellowship that will enable him to teach an advanced undergraduate course at Georgetown University in fall 2007 entitled "Nuclear Weapons in International Politics: Theory, History, Technology, and Policy." He was a participant at Columbia University's Summer Workshop on Analysis of Military Operations and Strategy (SWAMOS). In summer 2004 he worked at the Nuclear Threat Initiative, completing work on a paper on securing civil nuclear material stockpiles, whose working title is "Global Cleanout: An Emerging Approach to the Civil Nuclear Material Threat," which was published as an Occasional Paper by Harvard University. A draft version of the paper was used as the basis for an episode of the TV program The West Wing that first aired on November 10, 2004. Prior to attending graduate school he was a Research Analyst with the Arms Control Association where he researched and wrote about arms control and non-proliferation developments, and provided information and analysis on arms control policy to the media, the public and government, and wrote regularly for Arms Control Today. He wrote "Missile Defense is a Pipe Dream" which appeared in The Boston Globe. He attended the Carnegie Endowment's International Non-Proliferation Conference 2000, and served as a rapporteur for the "Missile Defense: Will It Work?" panel. Bleek has been interviewed on security issues by CTV (Canadian television network), Voice of America, DeutschlandRadio (national German radio), Radio New Zealand, and Radio Netherlands, among others. He has been cited on security issues in news stories published in the Christian Science Monitor, Newsday, Canada's Globe and Mail, and other newspapers.
