U.S., Russia Close In on Arms Nuclear Arms Treaty - WSJ.com: "U.S. and Russian arms-control negotiators have reached an 'agreement in principle' on the first nuclear-arms-reduction treaty in nearly two decades, administration and arms-control officials said Tuesday.
The deal, which was widely expected, would bring down deployed nuclear warheads and sharply limit the number of missiles and bombers that can deliver them.
Rose Gottemoeller, the Obama administration's lead negotiator, flew to Geneva Monday to help draft the final text and begin what could still be an arduous process of translating the agreement into treaty language, an administration official said.
'There may be finessing and fine-tuning, but the issues, from our perspective, are all addressed,' the official added."
