WAND Favorite- Rose Gottemoeller publishes op ed in favor of New START!

Rose Gottemoeller has long been a favorite of WAND. Throughout her career she has worked tirelessly at making the U.S., and the world a safer place. As Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance she has played a lead role in the work with the New START and was the U.S.'s chief negotiator with Russia.

Below is a brief sample of the op ed she recently published reminding Senate to get back to work on New START!

"By midnight on Dec. 4, 2009, the last U.S. inspector had to be out of the Russian Federation — at that moment, the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) was going out of force. Nearly a year has passed since that day, and in all that time, we have had no data exchanges on Russia’s strategic forces and no opportunity to inspect Russian strategic nuclear bases. Our inspectors are poised to resume their important work, but they can only do so after New START — now awaiting a Senate vote to approve ratification — enters into force."
