Rose Gottemoeller: “The Treaty is thus manifestly in the interest of U.S. national security.”

Sir, if the Russians intended to cheat so as to undermine this treaty, it would be an enormously serious matter for the United States of America.

This treaty imposes no constraint on U.S. efforts to modernize its nuclear enterprise.

You are absolutely right to emphasize that any nuclear use, big or small. It`s the absolute breaking of a taboo that has existed since World War II.

As I stated in my testimony, the Administration's decision to withdraw from the INF Treaty was legally justified but politically questionable.
