START's Next Stop: The Senate Floor
ABOUT US GIVE TELL A FRIEND CONTACT US
START's Next Stop: The Senate Floor
Today, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 14 to 4 to approve a treaty that will make all of us safer.A bipartisan majority in the committee, including all of the Democrats and Republicans Dick Lugar, Bob Corker, and Johnny Isakson, voted to approve the New START Treaty with Russia and send the treaty to the full Senate for a vote.
The strong showing in the committee increases the likelihood that the 67 senators necessary to approve the treaty will vote for START on the floorif they are given the chance to vote. With the elections approaching, the Senate could run out of time to take up this important agreement.
You can help. Urge your senators to call publicly for a vote on the treaty and to ask Senate leaders to schedule a vote. Urge your senators to vote "yes" on the new START Treaty.
Why is the New START Treaty important for national security?
- The treaty makes us safer. The treaty will reduce the number of deployed nuclear weapons in U.S. and Russian arsenals.
- The treaty allows U.S. inspectors to monitor Russian nuclear weapons. It has already been more than 285 days since U.S. on-site inspections of Russian nuclear weapons and facilities were suspended when the previous START Treaty expired.
- The treaty has the overwhelming support of military leaders and national security experts of both parties, including current and former commanders of U.S.nuclear weapons, Colin Powell, Henry Kissinger, and many others.
Please contact your senators today and ask them to call publicly for a vote on the New START Treaty.
Background
- The Senate has done its due diligence: Over the course of 21 hearings and briefings during the last five months, senators have had the opportunity to ask questions and put to rest concerns. Read an op ed by Ronald Reagan's Secretary of State George Shultz on this issue.
- The treaty is supported by almost every past and current Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, by former Secretaries of State George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, James Baker, and Colin Powell, and former Secretaries of Defense James Schlesinger, Frank Carlucci and William Cohen. Read comments by some of the people who support this treaty.
