Key elements of the study, conducted from 1978 to 1979, included expanding the number of cities, military bases and other places in the Soviet Union to be targeted and developing a secure reserve force.Mr. Sloss was born in San Francisco and served in the Philippines and Japan during World War II. He was awarded the Purple Heart. He received a bachelor's degree from Stanford University in 1949 and a master's degree in public affairs from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public Affairs in 1951. He joined the Bureau of the Budget shortly after receiving his degree at Princeton and moved to the State Department in 1966. From 1973 to 1975, he was deputy director of the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs in the State Department. In 1975, as a fellow of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington and the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, he published papers on NATO mobilization strategy and led an international study group on theater nuclear forces. He was assistant director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency from 1976 to 1978 and U.S. ambassador to the Seabed Treaty Negotiations in 1977 and 1978. Mr. Sloss retired from the federal government in 1979 to manage the Washington office of SRI International, a consulting and research firm. In 1981, he founded and became president of Leon Sloss Associates, a consulting firm specializing in national security affairs. He led the firm until his death. He remained engaged with the national security issues that had been the focus of his attention for more than half a century.". Nº de ref. del artículo: 68945
