gress that— 
(1) the responsiveness and alert levels of inter-
continental ballistic missiles are a unique feature of 
the ground-based leg of the United States nuclear 
triad; 
(2) such responsiveness and alert levels are crit-
ical to providing robust nuclear deterrence and as-
surance; and 
(3) any action to reduce the responsiveness and 
alert levels of United States intercontinental ballistic 
missiles would be contrary to longstanding United 
States policy, and deeply harmful to national secu-
rity and strategic stability in a crisis.
