Rose Gottemoeller: “It is in our national security interest and in our allies' interest that the INF Treaty remains in force.”

I am concerned, frankly, if New START goes out of force or is seen as unlikely to be extended that this will deal a significant blow to this larger non-proliferation system that keeps an explosion of nuclear weapons States from occurring…

Yes, Mr. Chairman, it does because it provides for predictability and mutual stability with the Russians.

We are seeing new and enduring pressures on the nonproliferation regime, pressures that threaten global stability.

The INF Treaty benefits the security of the United States, our allies, and the Russian Federation.
