In tandem with this, will he also seek to slash the weapons budget of the NNSA nuclear research labs? He's already on the record of being strongly against RRW.<BR/><BR/>_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _<BR/><BR/>President Obama Seeks Russia Deal to Slash Nuclear Weapons - The Times (UK), Feb 4, 2009<BR/><BR/>President Obama will convene the most ambitious arms reduction talks with Russia for a generation, aiming to slash each country’s stockpile of nuclear weapons by 80 per cent.<BR/><BR/>The radical treaty would cut the number of nuclear warheads to 1,000 each, The Times has learnt. Key to the initiative is a review of the Bush Administration’s plan for a US missile defence shield in Eastern Europe, a project fiercely opposed by Moscow.<BR/><BR/>Mr Obama is to establish a non-proliferation office at the White House to oversee the talks, expected to be headed by Gary Samore, a non-proliferation negotiator in the Clinton Administration. The talks will be driven by Hillary Clinton’s State Department.<BR/><BR/>No final decision on the defence shield has been taken by Mr Obama. Yet merely delaying the placement of US missiles in Poland and a radar station in the Czech Republic — which if deployed would cost the US $4 billion annually — removes what has been a major impediment to Russian co-operation on arms reduction. <BR/><BR/>...Mr Obama views the reduction of arms by the US and Russia as critical to efforts to persuade countries such as Iran not to develop the Bomb. <BR/><BR/><BR/>www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/<BR/>world/us_and_americas/article5654836.eceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-41138731924908184062009-02-03T21:09:00.000-07:002009-02-03T21:09:00.000-07:00Naturally it took a vocal fighter and voter dying ...Naturally it took a vocal fighter and voter dying before the politicians really bothered to do anything vigorous about the stonewall bureaucracy.<BR/><BR/>Typical politicians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-76846746180311627652009-02-03T20:44:00.000-07:002009-02-03T20:44:00.000-07:00Gotta love Senator Reid on this issue.
