  • “…the United States should remove as many weapons as possible from high-alert, hair-trigger status–another unnecessary vestige of Cold War confrontation. . . today, for two nations at peace, keeping so many weapons on high alert may create unacceptable risks of accidental or unauthorized launch. So, as President, I will ask for an assessment of what we can safely do to lower the alert status of our forces.” (George W. Bush, Washington, May 23, 2000. Excerpt from presidential candidate George W. Bush’s remarks on national security and arms control policy, as reported in The New York Times, 24 May 2000)
