Dr. Miller, would U.S. security be enhanced by not transmitting and encrypting that information?

If Russia were to attempt to gain a political advantage by cheating or breakout, the United States could respond in several ways.

The Senate would also be kept informed of such actions.

If the Russians adopt a policy of denying the U.S. telemetry on their new systems deployed during the duration of the New START treaty, would we adopt the same policy?

Dr. Miller, both sides will have significant upload capability under this treaty.

Can the United States upload without the Russians realizing we were uploading?

Dr. Miller, according to open source reporting, the Russians are deploying a new 5,000 km nuclear-capable cruise missile on a new class of submarines.

Without the treaty's verification measures, the United States would have much less insight into Russian strategic forces, thereby requiring our military to plan based on worst-case assumptions.

Mr. D'Agostino, what is the status of the NWSP?

Mr. D'Agostino, how is this addressed in future budgets?

Dr. Miller, you say that one option to respond to Russian cheating is that we could quickly upload our own delivery systems.

Mr. D'Agostino, does that plan align with the 1251 report and the SSMP?

Mr. D'Agostino, is the plan outlined in the 1251 report and the Stockpile Stewardship Management Program (SSMP) sufficient to produce the number of W76-1 life extension warheads needed to meet DOD requirements?

I would not support a budget that did not ensure the safety, security, and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear weapons deterrent.

Mr. D'Agostino, do you agree with Director Anastasio's follow-up statement about the uncertainty of life extension and facility construction costs?

Mr. D'Agostino, are you prepared to adjust the fiscal year 2012 budget to fully reflect the requirements articulated in the 1251 plan?

what decisions have been made to develop new systems to replace the current bombers, ICBMs, SLBMs, and ALCMs that will reach the end of their service lives in the 2030 to 2040 period?

What would it take to ensure the New START addresses all current and future launchers and delivery systems?
