The treaty improves strategic stability between the United States and Russia by requiring both nations to provide transparency and accountability in the management of their strategic nuclear forces.
I expect the DOD to explain to this committee how it is in our national security interest to auction off this vital spectrum.
The treaty does not affect our ability to maintain an effective nuclear deterrent, as specified by DOD planners in the 2010 Nuclear Posture Review.
This treaty does advance American security objectives, particularly with respect to what I consider to be our greatest nuclear threats, nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism.
