Beyond New START Report Launch

Beyond New START: Advancing U.S. National Security Through Arms Control with Russia 

Report Launch

Introduction: Clark Murdock, Director, Project on Nuclear Issues

Remarks: James M. Acton and Michael S. Gerson, Working Group Cochairs

The Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) is pleased to invite you to the release of the final report of the Next Generation Working Group (NGWG) on U.S.-Russian Arms Control.

The NGWG consists of fourteen leading young academics, analysts, and officials with professional experience in arms control and other nuclear issues. The Working Group's report concludes that an additional round of U.S.-Russian nuclear arms control is in the national security interest of the United States, but will be extremely difficult given the two sides' divergent capabilities, interests, and objectives. The report lays out the key issues that are likely to be discussed and offers some practical recommendations, on both substance and process, that should help the United States and Russia reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
