I do not. I have studied the treaty rather carefully, and it is my own judgment that it provides adequately for the national security interests of the United States.

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.
The treaty is a valuable confidence-building measure in that it provides for a vitally important continuing dialogue between the United States and Russia on strategic nuclear weapons.
But the real solution rests with our President. He needs to stop with excuses and secure our border.
The reduction of deployed warheads entailed by the treaty is modest, but the treaty is a clear signal that the United States is serious about carrying out our responsibilities under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
