Report: Obama to Offer Russia 80% Nuke Reduction
------------------------------------------------



The Obama administration is reportedly readying a plan to offer Russia a
major reduction to each country’s stockpile of nuclear weapons. The
Times of London reports President Obama will propose to reduce
stockpiles by 80 percent to 1,000 weapons each. Obama will also pledge
to “review” the Bush administration’s missile program in eastern Europe.
A newly created White House nonproliferation office would oversee the
talks.
