riod that the New START Treaty is in effect, and 
such improvements are consistent with the Treaty.’’.

defense capabilities of the United States are not in 
the national security interests of the United States;

ties of the United States both quantitatively and 
qualitatively during the period that the New START 
treaty is in effect and such improvements are con-
sistent with the Treaty; and

weapons, further strategic weapons reductions, or 
any other matter shall include any restrictions on 
the missile defense options of the United States in

lateral Consultative Commission established by the New

ing on the United States, and shall not enter into force

United States in Europe—combined with NATO’s 
unique nuclear sharing arrangements under which 
non-nuclear members participate in nuclear planning 
and possess specially configured aircraft capable of 
delivering nuclear weapons—contributes to the cohe-
785 
sion of NATO and provides reassurance to allies and

United States that are based in Europe after 
such reduction, consolidation, or withdrawal 
would provide a commensurate or better level of
786 
assurance and credibility as before such reduc-
tion, consolidation, or withdrawal; or

of such nuclear forces is— 
(A) pursuant to a treaty or international

cation containing—

(c)(2); 
(2) justification for such reduction, consolida-
tion, or withdrawal; and

states, in light of such reduction, consolidation, or 
withdrawal, assess the credibility of the deterrence 
capability of the United States in support of its com-
mitments undertaken pursuant to article 5 of the 
North Atlantic Treaty, signed at Washington, Dis-
787 
trict of Columbia, on April 4, 1949, and entered into
