"As the chairman pointed out, the committee begins today to hear testimony regarding the New START Treaty and the historical context of United States-Russian arms control."

"I believe a thorough and detailed debate can achieve similar levels of support."

"I appreciate very much your going through, today, what already has been achieved."

"I've been very much much concerned on--as I hope others are--on the technical disparity--the technical weapon disparity between the United States and Russia."
