Denny Rehberg Offers Amendment to Protect Malmstrom & Stop New START

May 18, 2012

"The New START Treaty with Russia will go down as one of the worst, most one-sided deals in American history, made all the worse for the danger it poses to Malmstrom's primary mission. If two countries sign a nuclear arms reduction treaty, both sides have to reduce their nuclear arms, but that's not what's happening. The Russians were already well under their quota for nuclear weapons established by the treaty and the first thing they did was increase their arsenal. The Senate shouldn't have ratified this disastrous treaty to threaten Malmstrom's missiles, and my Amendment will give President Obama and the Senate a chance to help us clean up the mess they've made." - Denny Rehberg
