Taking the START II debate to Moscow
Article Abstract:
Secretary of Defense William J. Perry feels that the speedy ratification of the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (START) ll by Russia will be beneficial for both the US and Russia. Perry believes that the implementation of START II will reduce security risks to both states and that the remaining weapons will be enough to ensure their individual security. He feels that START II is fair to both the US and Russia and that the treaty will contribute to the overall security environment by enhancing US-Russian relations. Perry reiterates that the US will continue to abide by the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
