Grossman told a 1996 interviewer;

Now Council for a Livable World is playing the money game… We try to find obscure people who would make good Senators or Representatives and early on try to give them the initial funding.

According to C.L.W.’s own website “notable achievements to which the Council-supported candidates who were elected have contributed” include:

Ratifying the Chemical Weapons Convention and Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces, Conventional Forces in Europe, and Strategic Arms Reduction (START) treaty
Establishing a U.S. nuclear testing moratorium in 1992
Limiting the deployment of the MX missile and B-2 bomber
Blocking deployment of National Missile Defense by the Clinton administration
Eliminating funding for the nuclear “Bunker Buster” and “Reliable Replacement Warhead”
