Senate Foreign Relations Committee Approves START
-------------------------------------------------



The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has voted to advance an arms
reduction treaty with Russia. The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty,
or New START, calls for the US and Russia to cut their deployed arsenals
to 1,550 nuclear warheads and 700 missile silos and bombers each. The
full Senate is expected to vote on the measure in November.
