By KERY MURAKAMI The rejection of political science Prof. Raymond Tanter's research proposal on arms control earlier this month has not prompted him to consider leaving the University, despite a newspaper article which said he might. "I am not upset, and I have not threatened to quit," Tanter said. "I consider myself a lifetime member of the University of Michigan." IN AN article in the Ann Arbor News Sunday, Tanter said, "The decision (to reject the proposal) could have a profound influence on my career. I may not be able to study what truly interests me ... I would like to continue my roots here, but eventually I may have to leave the University." Tanter's research would have focused on arms control agreements without formal treaties, and was rejected by Alfred Sussman, vice president for research, after the Research Policies Committee voted unanimously that it violated the University classified research guidelines. Sussman said the research proposal was "an excellent proposal," but because Tanter would use classified materials for it, there was no guarantee that Tanter's results would not also be classified. The research guidelines state that researchers doing classified research must be able to publish freely. Tanter said yesterday that he could have matched any infor- mation he got from classified documents with information readily available, which probably would have allowed him to publish his results openly later. "Using multiple sources is an integral part of classified research," he said.
