Implementation of the New START Treaty, and Related Matters

By Committee on Foreign Relations United St and Committee on Foreign Relations Senate (U.S.)

Evaluating the New START Treaty and debating its merits was a major undertaking here, and I am very grateful to Secretary Gottemoeller and to others who contributed to what I thought was a very extensive and productive effort to evaluate that treaty and to lay the groundwork to put a record together. We scrutinized it through months of open and classified hearings, hundreds of questions for the record, more than a week of debate in the full Senate. And ultimately, the committee supported it 14 to 4, and we passed it in the full Senate with 71 votes. I am proud that we sent a signal to the world that we remain committed to trying to reduce the threat of nuclear proliferation. Now it has been almost a year and a half since the Senate agreed to the New START and just over a year since it entered into force. So it is appropriate at this juncture to review how well the treaty is performing.
