Zusammenfassung:	Lachow examines the potential benefits and risks associated with the growing use of global positioning systems (GPS) through the world. Lachow recommends as a means to balance these risks and benefits that the two GPS signals be treated as separate goods, that the US offers to eliminate Selective Availability during peacetime, and that the US enters into formal negotiations to establish international standards for GPS signals and augmentations.
