Sidney Drell and Jim Goodby talked about Reykjavik Revisited: Steps Toward a World Free of Nuclear Weapons (Hoover Institution Press; December 30, 2008), which they co-edited with George Shultz and Steven P. Andreasen. They responded to audience members' questions following their remarks. The book is the final report of the 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev Reykjavik Summit.

The bi-partisan group met again in 2007.
