To achieve deep reduction of nuclear weapons, a whole range of complicated issues needs to be resolved. From the viewpoint of priority, ballistic missile defense is at the top of the list of these issues, with its relevance significantly increased after the US withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM Treaty) and the appearance of the plans to deploy the elements of the US global ballistic missile defense system in Europe. For quite a time there have been various discussions and proposals on the practical forms of cooperation between the US, Russia and NATO in the sphere of BMD. Alongside with a number of joint official declarations, such cooperation manifested itself in a series of joint computer-assisted command exercises on non-strategic BMD, both in the bilateral (USRussia) and multilateral (NATO-Russia) format. In other words, the parties have quite clearly expressed their intention to cooperate.

Balancing the frequently competing demands of deterrence and disarmament was a familiar problem for NATO during the Cold War. However, today's NATO is a larger alliance with a broader and more diverse set of concerns and perspectives to accommodate.

Speech/Testimony
Let me begin by placing the treaty into the context of arms control issues as they have evolved in the half-century that I have dealt with them. I consulted in the Kennedy administration during discussions on Berlin and the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in the 1960s. As National Security Advisor and Secretary of State, I participated in the negotiations of several arms control agreements in the 1970s.
