Joe Biden

The hearing will come to order. I apologize for being late, and I, quite frankly, should have had Senator Lugar start the hearing. I was on an Amtrak train that was delayed 25 minutes. But lest you think Amtrak's in trouble, just think of every time you fly. All you've got to do is think about flying, and then you'll feel better about Amtrak.

Joe Biden

I'm going to put my statement in the record and I would just like to suggest that there's three key points I'm interested in. One is, despite some of the rhetoric surrounding the Nuclear Posture Review [NPR], it seems to me that it affirms more existing policy than it does break new ground. And, second, is that the NPR's conclusions -- the concern I have is that they threatened -- may threaten to lead the resumption of U.S. nuclear testing that could unravel nuclear nonproliferation regimes. And the third concern I have is the development of new nuclear weapons, including low-yield earth penetraters that could blur the traditional firewall between the conventional and nuclear weapons and, hence, make nuclear war more likely. They're things that I'm going to want to speak to with our witnesses.

Note

[The prepared statement of Senator Biden follows:] Prepared Statement of Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Today the Senate Foreign Relations Committee holds a rather unusual hearing, one in which the subject is a Department of Defense document. The reason is that, especially in the realm of strategic policy, decisions regarding the structure and possible use of our nuclear arsenal are fraught with foreign policy implications.

Joe Biden

For 57 years, the strategic and foreign policies of the United States have been crafted in the shadow of the bomb. The overwhelming challenge has been to deter our enemies from attacking us or our allies, while also avoiding a conflict in which many millions of innocent people -- indeed, whole societies -- could perish.

Joe Biden

In the post-cold war era, our enemies and our fears have changed markedly. Today, a nuclear Armageddon is more likely to result from accident than from any intentional march to war. While the context has changed, however, our post-cold war strategic objectives remain the same: to deter others, but also to avoid a nuclear catastrophe.

The United States and Russia no longer control other countries' actions to the degree that we did during the cold war. As a result, our non-proliferation efforts have become an increasingly important element in our foreign policy. We can no longer be confident that a minor power with weapons of mass destruction will heed our advice not to use those weapons. So it becomes ever more important to prevent the spread of those weapons.

Four months ago, the administration sent to the Congress -- and briefed to the media -- its Nuclear Posture Review, a classified, legislatively mandated document in which the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy set forth a strategy for the maintenance and possible use of our nuclear forces. In March, large portions of the Review were made public when they were leaked to the press. This document affords us a vital window into the thinking of our top defense officials on strategic policy.

The Nuclear Posture Review has prompted much public discussion in the last two months, and I have questions about it as well. My concerns may not always parallel those raised by the press. For example, I was not surprised to read that we would consider targeting countries other than Russia or China, or that we would maintain our traditional ambiguity on whether we might use nuclear weapons in response to an attack involving non-nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Those are actually long-standing U.S. policies.

Joe Biden

The Nuclear Posture Review did cause me some concern, however, for the following reasons: 1. It isn't forthright. This document was sent to the President and Congress, both of whom have vital national security functions. The authors ought to have made clear how much it ratifies existing policy -- on issues ranging from potential nuclear targets to the force reductions that the Pentagon supports -- and how little is really new. I worry that our defense officials may believe their rhetoric about putting the cold war and mutual deterrence behind us, when -- to me, at least -- the Nuclear Posture Review does not really do that. I think that much of the vaunted "new Triad" of forces is based on hypothetical capabilities that we may not achieve for decades. I worry that basing our strategic policy upon such a distant horizon may cause our defense officials to overlook short-term risks and opportunities. 2. It threatens to lead to new nuclear testing that would unravel the nuclear non-proliferation regime. That's because it opens the door to developing new nuclear weapons that would require such testing. If we were to test because we had discovered a fault in existing weapons that could only be cured through testing, the world would be upset -- but nuclear non- proliferation would survive. If we test to develop new weapons, however, the message will be that we value those weapons more than we do non-proliferation. And other countries will take their cue from us. 3. These new weapons could make nuclear war more likely -- thereby making us all less secure, rather than more so. Some of the new weapons discussed in the Nuclear Posture Review would be intended to reduce collateral damage or to strike deeply buried targets. While those are understandable objectives, such weapons could blur the distinction between conventional and nuclear war, making it more likely that we would "go nuclear" next time. One important way in which we have deterred the use of nuclear weapons for over half a century is by maintaining their character as weapons of mass destruction. We made it clear, both to our enemies and to ourselves, that once a nuclear response was undertaken or invited, all bets were off as to where it would end. The Nuclear Posture Review seems to flirt with changing that approach.

Should we be the first country in two generations to use nuclear weapons? Would that lead others to use nuclear weapons as an "equalizer" to counter our conventional superiority? Would the war- fighting advantage that we gained from more usable nuclear weapons really justify destroying the firewall against nuclear war that we and the world have maintained since the end of World War II?

To me, treating nuclear weapons as a handy military tool, rather than as weapons of retaliation or last resort, seems profoundly unwise.

Our first panel will feature two of the most important strategic thinkers of our day. Admiral Bill Owens, retired Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave us the "revolution in military affairs" that brought information-age technology onto the battlefield. From the gulf war to Bosnia and Kosovo, and most recently in Afghanistan, we have seen new vistas in the use of precision-targeted military force. Admiral Owens -- who now is co-CEO of Teledesic -- will speak both as a war-fighter and as one who has looked carefully at the future of war.

Joe Biden

Dr. John Foster, former Director of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, served also as Director of Defense Research and Engineering. In recent years, he has headed important expert panels on the state of our nuclear Stockpile Stewardship Program and on our readiness to resume nuclear testing. His recommendations have prompted political debate, and I hope he will explain to us what an increased test readiness program can realistically achieve, why we need it, and why, in his view, it is nothing to be feared.

Our second panel will begin with a most distinguished scientist, Professor Steven Weinberg of the University of Texas. In 1979, Professor Weinberg won the Nobel Prize in physics. Throughout his career, he has combined cutting-edge work with an ability to explain modern science to the rest of us. His books The First Three Minutes and Dreams of a Final Theory have been best-sellers.

The second witness on our second panel will be Dr. Loren Thompson, chief operating officer of the Lexington Institute. Dr. Thompson wrote an interesting piece recently for the Wall Street Journal, in which he argued essentially that critics of the Nuclear Posture Review should calm down, because all the proposals in it were really aimed at buttressing nuclear deterrence. I look forward to any reassurance he can provide.

Mr. Cirincione is a man of many talents who has been a frequent witness before this committee and who was once a staff member of the House Armed Services Committee. He specializes in the nexus between military and foreign policy, and we will count on him to draw together the many points of view that will be expressed this morning.

I understand that Dr. Foster will have to leave early, so after Senator Lugar makes his opening statement, I turn the floor over to Dr. Foster and then Admiral Owens. Following their presentations, I hope we can focus our initial questions on Dr. Foster so as to get the maximum benefit from his presence today.

Joe Biden

The horrific events of September 11 brought into sharp focus that the threats of the 21st century are far different from the threats of the last century. During the 20th century, our adversaries were easily named and contained within defined national borders. The forces that our men and women in uniform are currently fighting belong to mobile, well-financed terrorist cells that do not have a centralized structure and exist in the shadows around the world, and even in our own country. This new kind of enemy challenges our conception of traditional warfare and demands a different kind of response, and a different strategic framework.

I am concerned that the Nuclear Posture Review we will discuss today does not adequately address emerging threats. We must ensure that we adopt the best approach for the 21st century.

I welcome the President's announcement of a preliminary agreement between the United States and Russia to reduce the nuclear weapons stockpiles of the two countries. And I am pleased that this important agreement will be contained in a binding treaty rather than in a less formal agreement between the two Presidents. I urge the administration to include provisions regarding destruction of these deadly weapons and verification of such destruction in the treaty before sending it to the Senate. Only by dismantling and destroying these weapons can we truly achieve the goal of meaningful nuclear arms reduction. As a member of this committee, I look forward to reviewing the provisions of this treaty when it is submitted to the Senate for its advice and consent.

While I applaud these reductions, I remain concerned that the overall theme of the Nuclear Posture Review seems to point to increased reliance on nuclear weapons. I am particularly concerned about proposals for so-called "mini-nukes," which could be fired at smaller targets or be used to penetrate bunkers buried deep beneath the Earth's surface.

The United States should not be in the business of making nuclear weapons the preferred alternative on the battlefield. Nuclear weapons loom as the weapon of last resort. Mini-nukes threaten to dangerously blur the line between conventional and nuclear warfare by potentially lowering the threshold for a decision to use these devastating weapons. By developing mini-nukes, the United States could well launch another arms race as other countries seek to match or exceed our new capabilities. And we should consider the possible negative health effects that such weapons could have on our men and women in uniform, who would be forced to serve in an environment polluted by nuclear radiation.

Mr. Chairman, the strategic environment during the cold war was characterized by high-risk but low- probability of ballistic-missile exchanges in the use of weapons of mass destruction. Today, however, is the opposite case. We live in a lower-risk but higher-probability environment with respect to ballistic-missile exchanges and the use of weapons of mass destruction.

Whereas, previous strategic calculations assumed almost limitless offensive nuclear weapons systems but more or less rational actors, experiences with Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, and others make this assumption less plausible today. President Bush has correctly pointed out that the cold war nuclear strategy is not appropriate for the current threat environment. While nuclear weapons will continue to play a role in United States defense policies, they will not be our primary form of deterrence. We must continue to move the world, while we exercise necessary care and prudence, away from nuclear- dependent deterrence.

I agree with the Nuclear Posture Review's conclusion that, "The United States will no longer plan, size, or sustain its forces as though Russia presented a smaller version of the threat posed by the former Soviet Union." Instead, we must configure a force to deter a number of different threats emanating from many sources. Our nuclear triad must undertake the same metamorphosis as our conventional forces. We must be lighter, quicker, more able to adapt to the changing environment which characterizes the post-cold war era. By moving to a smaller nuclear-force posture, we must have a very high level of confidence in the safety and security of our stockpile. The safe maintenance and storage of these weapons is of the utmost concern. We cannot allow them to fall into disrepair or permit their safety to falter. As our force shrinks, this reliability must grow if we are to maintain full confidence in our nuclear deterrence.

On Monday, President Bush announced that the United States and Russia had reached an agreement to lower the number of deployed warheads to between 1,700 and 2,200. And the treaty will be signed on May 24 during the United States-Russia summit. I believe this treaty marks the step toward a safer world. I plan to work closely with Chairman Biden and Senator Helms in seeking a swift ratification of this important milestone. I understand the administration tends to submit the treaty to the Senate promptly, and I've proposed, respectfully, Mr. Chairman, that the committee aim to report the treaty to the floor in an expeditious manner so that ratification might occur prior to adjournment this year.

Senate ratification before the end of the year will show leadership on this important matter. The Russian Duma and the world will be watching and studying our enthusiasm and our commitment to securing ratification. This agreement is an important achievement, but the agreement and others like it are only successful if they are fully implemented by both sides. Only then will the security and stability we seek be enhanced.

Unfortunately, the benefits of the treaty are not assured. Russia cannot afford to dismantle their weapons system through resources currently available. The Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program is the means by which the United States assists Russia in meeting its dismantlement obligations under the START I Treaty. The need for dismantlement and assistance will continue.

Under the START I Treaty, the former Soviet Union identified 13,300 offensive warheads. To date, Nunn-Lugar has deactivated 5,896 of these weapons. In addition, the program has destroyed 1,200 missiles, more than 900 missile launchers, 100 long-range bombers, and 22 missile submarines. As important as the crucial role that the legislation has played in implementing the recently announced treaty, some in Congress continue to drag their feet in giving the President the power to carry out these efforts. Each year, the administration is required to certify that Russia is committed to arms control goals. Complete Russian accountability and transparency in the chemical and biological arenas have been lacking. As a result, the administration has now requested a waiver from that certification as a part of the current supplemental appropriation legislation. In the meantime, although existing programs may continue, no new activities to dismantle or destroy weapons of mass destruction can be started and no new contracts can be finalized.

Some in Congress oppose granting the President a permanent waiver authority in order to implement Nunn-Lugar, but, absent congressional passage of a waiver, Russian treaty implementation will lag far behind, and our common security goals will be in jeopardy. As President Bush is concluding and signing a treaty with Russia to take nuclear weapon levels down to near 2,000, some in Congress are actively working to stymie the efforts to ensure timely and complete dismantlement of those same Russian weapons stockpiles.

In sum, I believe the No. 1 national-security threat facing the United States is the nexus of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, and there is little doubt that Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda would have used weapons of mass destruction on September 11 if they had possessed them. It's equally clear they made an effort to obtain them. This treaty, although not a silver bullet to the threats that confront us, is a tremendous step forward in meeting our obligations under the nonproliferation treaty and reduces the chances of nuclear war.

But equally important, Congress must provide the President with the authority to carry out, with the Russian's cooperation, the necessary destruction of weapons in Russia. Absent such action, our President and our Nation's good intentions will fail, because Congress refused to grant the President the authorization to see his and our goals through to conclusion.

Second, it is my intention, as I told the President yesterday when I saw him at the Police Memorial, to move on the treaty as rapidly -- as soon as it's submitted. In his usual folksy way -- he's a really engaging guy -- we walked up on the stage, walking by, and he said, "Well, it's a treaty, Biden, you owe me," or something to that effect.

And so obviously, if I didn't move on it quickly, because, as you know, you and I were very straightforward about the need for there to be a treaty. But at any rate, so I assure you we will move that as rapidly as we possibly can.

Admiral Bill Owens, retired Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave us the, quote, "revolution of military affairs" that brought information-age technology into the making of war. For the gulf war, Bosnia, and Kosovo, and, most recently, Afghanistan, we've seen new vistas in the use of precision-target military force that I think Admiral Owens is most responsible for. He is now the co- CEO of Teledesic, which he will speak both as a warfighter and one who has looked carefully at the future of war.

And Dr. John Foster, a former Director of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, served also as the Director of Defense Research and Engineering. In recent years, he's headed important expert panels on the state of our Nuclear Stockpile Stewardship Program and in our readiness to resume nuclear testing. Dr. Foster's recommendations have prompted a political debate, and I hope he'll expand on that and explain to us what an increased test-readiness program can realistically achieve and why we need it and why, in his view, there is nothing to be feared by such a test -- such a proposal.

The panel observed the nuclear weapon program for 3 years. We issued our third and final report last March. In performing our assessments, the panel used as a benchmark the longstanding commitment of this and previous Presidents that sustaining confidence in U.S. nuclear deterrent capabilities is a supreme national interest. Our work has focused on the steps necessary to manage the weapons stockpile and its supporting program accordingly.

You've invited me to comment on issues related to the Nuclear Posture Review. The NPR addresses questions involving both technical and policy considerations that go beyond the scope of the panel's charter. There are, nevertheless, several areas in common. And in those areas, the panel found the NPR to be quite constructive. Many of the programs and initiatives in the NPR address the panel's concerns that the Nation needs to do better if we are to do the best we can to sustain confidence in the stockpile without nuclear tests.

My remarks today will cover those common areas. The panel did not address issues related to the size of the stockpile, either active or inactive. We did not assess the logic of the proposed new triad or strike capabilities, defensive capabilities, and infrastructure; nor did the panel examine specific requirements for new weapons. But major challenges remain.

I begin with the context. The panel and the NPR describe the current situation with the weapons program in much the same way. The program is entering a very challenging new phase that will challenge the Nation's ability to sustain the existing stockpile.

Weapons are aging. Some mainstay weapons, such as the W76 Trident warhead, are already reaching their 20-year design life. Several weapons are showing disturbing signs of deterioration and other problems. Owing to improvements in our assessment tools, we now are discovering that we had been overconfident in assessing some of our existing weapons. The W87 ICBM warhead is being refurbished. Last year the decision was made that three more warhead types, the W76, the W80, and the B61 bomb, will undergo extensive refurbishment in the coming decade.

Sustaining high confidence in these complex systems as we introduce different components, new materials, and new production methods, make design changes to warheads, and utilize a new generation of people, assessment tools, and refurbished facilities, is an unprecedented technical challenge for the laboratories and the production complex. Under these difficult circumstances, I don't think that anyone should be surprised that the confidence in the nuclear test pedigree is deteriorating. Stewardship must adapt.

To sustain confidence in the face of these challenges requires a transformation of the weapons program. The necessary tasks ahead demand capable tools, people, and facilities, as well as the most rigorous available processes for designing, assessing, certifying, and manufacturing our nuclear warheads. The panel outlined intiatives in six areas. Each of these areas was addressed to some degree in the NPR.

First, it is imperative that we strengthen stockpile surveillance, assessments, and certification. These processes are the day-to-day foundation for understanding stockpile safety and reliability. They also will be critical for judging our confidence in the warheads that will be refurbished over the next decade. As the technical challenge of maintaining the stockpile grows, these processes must be as rigorous and probing as the responsible stockpile stewards know how to make them. Decision makers need to be apprised of all the viable options for sustaining confidence. Key to this is sustaining the competition of ideas between the nuclear design laboratories, which has been a critical foundation for the weapons program for five decades and is the raison d'etre for two such laboratories.

We also recommend broadening the scope of annual certification reporting to encompass issues concerning the full spectrum of capabilities necessary to sustain confidence. This would require significant changes to current practices affecting several executive branch activities and, the panel believes, national level guidance is needed to shape the needed process. The panel urges Congress to support our proposals for processes that would engage the laboratories, DOE, and DOD in obtaining an unvarnished and complete assessment of stewardship issues and options.

Second, the administration and Congress need to articulate and fund a balanced, forward-looking weapons program and allocate resources to the highest priority deliverables. Such a program would meet requirements for weapons refurbishment while at the same time adequately supporting the exploration of advanced concepts and maintaining leading capabilities in weapons-relevant science and technology.

NNSA, the National Nuclear Security Administration must provide the leadership by creating a program that defines the essential deliverables for stockpile stewardship and that shows how resources are allocated to provide these deliverables. A renewed focus on deliverable products is essential to drive the need for restoring the weapons complex and training a new generation of stockpile stewards and for assessing longstanding management deficiencies.

This committee is well aware that other nations continue to maintain and adapt their nuclear arsenals and that there is continuing proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery methods. Technological surprise has occurred in the past and is something that we must guard against. The work on future concepts and technologies is needed to assess intelligence information, to avoid technical surprises, as well as to train stockpile stewards, and to provide alternative options for addressing any problems that may arise. The panel also emphasizes that it is essential for Congress to be kept apprised of developments in foreign weapons programs and their potential implications for U.S. security.

Third, to sustain the nuclear stockpile, we must restore an adequate weapons complex. Today, many capabilities are missing or deficient. As you know, the United States is the only major nuclear power that is unable to manufacture the nuclear components for its nuclear weapons. Restoring these capabilities can take a decade or more. In the meantime, we run serious risks.

A plan is needed to explain, and we need to get started now. The adequacy of the production complex is a critical factor in determining the appropriate size of the inactive reserve and of weapons and the pace of dismantlements. With the necessary capacity to repair or produce weapons, the United States can relieve our dependence on an inactive reserve.

Fourth, test readiness needs to be addressed much more realistically. This is not because a need to test is imminent, but because prudence requires that every President have a realistic option to return to testing should a technical or strategic events make it necessary. Our current readiness to return to testing is 2 to 3 years. The panel recommends the administration and Congress support test readiness of 3 months to a year, depending on the type of test. When the Senate rendered its advice and consent to the START II Treaty, its resolution of ratification stated that the United States would commit to readiness to allow testing to resume within 1 year.

Fifth, NNSA needs to provide the strong leadership Congress sought when it created that organization in 1999. The NNSA inherited an extremely difficult situation when it was created. DOE experienced large budget cuts in the early 1990s and was never able to establish a coherent long-range vision for the program that was consistent with the available resources. NNSA was created to address these challenges and to rectify other longstanding DOE management weaknesses. NNSA needs to establish clear lines of authority, responsibility, and accountability. Laboratory directors and plant managers should be tasked and enabled to meet the requirements, standards, time lines, and budgets established by the NNSA leadership.

Sixth, while the panel's focus has been mainly on the NNSA weapons program, we also considered the related nuclear program activities in the DOD. Three specific actions are recommended. One, strengthening the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's programs for understanding weapons effects. Two, creating in DOD a systematic annual assessment of its delivery platforms and integrated nuclear systems that parallels the process for the weapons stockpile. And, three, reassessing the need for certain weapon requirements in view of the NPR, especially those relating to hostile environments.

Expectations. The coming year will be critical in transforming the weapons program to meet the coming challenges. We should expect specific actions in several areas. Within this year, NNSA should complete its reorganization, resolve organizational relationships with DOE headquarters and develop a plan for reducing unnecessary administrative burdens. The Secretary of Energy should complete a review of DOE orders and directives and remove all unnecessary duplication of staffs. NNSA should clarify program management roles, responsibilities, and authorities. NNSA should create a future-years program plan and budget defining deliverables, priorities, and resources for meeting NPR objectives. This should include a credible program plan for reestablishing all of the capabilities needed for production of currently deployed warheads.

Within the next 2 years, NNSA should implement new certification procedures that fully exploit the strengths of the national laboratories. Concurrently, there should be significant progress in reducing surveillance backlogs of critical items. Both NNSA and DOD should demonstrate test- readiness of 3 months to a year, depending on the kind of test. DOD should publish a funded program plan for weapons-effects phenomenology, simulation, and test readiness that should complete at least one cycle of a new annual assessment process in which there is enhanced rigor in DOD surveillance and assessment.

There remains an urgent need for NNSA to address the fundamental problems that Congress created it to correct. The startup phase is now over. If NNSA is unable to accomplish its tasks, Congress should take positive action to further strengthen the mandate and support needed to adequately manage the Nation's nuclear capabilities.

Reliability, Safety, and Security of the United States Nuclear Stockpile Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee. In 1999, Congress established the Panel to Assess the Reliability, Safety, and Security of the United States Nuclear Stockpile.\1\ My prepared statement represents the views of my fellow Panel members: Dr. Harold Agnew, Dr. Sydell Gold, Mr. Stephen Guidice, and Dr. James Schlesinger. The Panel observed the nuclear weapons program for three years. We issued our third, and final, report in March. In performing our assessments, the Panel has used as a benchmark the long-standing commitment of this, and previous, Presidents that sustaining confidence in U.S. nuclear deterrent capabilities is a supreme national interest. Our work has focused on the steps necessary to manage the weapons stockpile and its supporting program accordingly. -

You have invited me to comment on issues related to the Nuclear Posture Review. The NPR addresses questions involving both technical and policy considerations that go beyond the scope of the Panel's charter. There are, nevertheless, several areas in common, and in those areas the Panel found the NPR to be quite constructive. Many of the programs and initiatives in the NPR address the Panel's concerns that the Nation needs to do better if we are to do the best we can to sustain confidence in the stockpile. My remarks today will cover those common areas. The Panel did not address issues relating to the size of the stockpile, either active or inactive. We did not assess the logic of the proposed new "triad" of strike capabilities, defensive capabilities, and infrastructure. Nor did the Panel examine specific requirements for new weapons. major challenges remain

I will begin with the context. The Panel and the NPR describe the current situation with the weapons program in much the same way: The program is entering a very challenging new phase that will stress the Nation's ability to sustain the existing stockpile. Weapons are aging. Some mainstay weapons, such as the W76 Trident warhead, are already reaching their 20-year design life. Several weapons are showing disturbing signs of deterioration and other problems. Owing to improvements in our assessment tools, we now are discovering that we had been overconfident in the past in assessing some of our existing weapons. The W87 ICBM warhead is being refurbished. Last year the decision was made that three more warhead types (the W76, the W80 cruise missile warhead, and the B61 bomb) will undergo extensive refurbishment in the coming decade.

Sustaining high confidence in these complex systems is an unprecedented technical challenge for the Department of Energy, the laboratories and the production complex. We will be introducing different components, new materials, and new production methods; making design changes to warheads; and utilizing a new generation of people, assessment tools, and refurbished facilities. Under these difficult circumstances, I do not think that anyone should be surprised that the confidence in the nuclear stockpile, which is based on the nuclear-test "pedigree," is deteriorating. stewardship must adapt

To sustain confidence in the face of these challenges requires a transformation of the weapons program. The necessary tasks ahead demand capable tools, people, and facilities -- as well as the most rigorous available processes -- for designing, assessing, certifying, manufacturing, and maintaining our nuclear warheads. The Panel outlined initiatives in six areas. Each of these areas was addressed to some degree in the NPR.

First, it is imperative that we strengthen stockpile surveillance, assessments, and certification. These processes are the day-to-day foundation for understanding stockpile safety and reliability. They also will be critical for judging our confidence in the warheads that will be refurbished over the next decade. As the technical challenge of maintaining the stockpile grows, these processes must be as rigorous and probing as the responsible stockpile stewards know how to make them. Decision makers need to be apprised of all the viable options for sustaining confidence. Key to this is sustaining the competition of ideas among the nuclear design laboratories. This has been a critical foundation for the weapons program for five decades, and it is the raison d'etre for two such laboratories.

The Panel recommends that the Annual Certification Process entail the identification of issues that may undermine confidence, and an assessment of the relevant options for sustaining confidence -- at each level of the assessment process (i.e., technical, operational military, and national). We also recommend broadening the scope of Annual Certification reporting to encompass issues concerning the full spectrum of capabilities necessary to sustain confidence. This would require significant changes to current practices affecting several executive branch activities, and the Panel believes national-level guidance is needed to shape the needed process. The Panel urges Congress to support our proposals for processes that would engage the laboratories, DOE, and DOD in obtaining an unvarnished and complete assessment of stewardship issues and options.

Second, the Administration and Congress need to articulate a balanced, forward-looking weapons program, and allocate resources to the highest priority deliverables. Such a program would meet requirements for weapons refurbishments, while at the same time would adequately support the exploration of advanced concepts and maintain leading capabilities in weapons-relevant science and technology. NNSA -- the National Nuclear Security Administration -- must provide the leadership, by creating a program that defines the essential deliverables and that clearly defines the resources allocated to provide these deliverables.

This Committee is well aware that other nations continue to maintain and adapt their nuclear arsenals, and that there is a continuing proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery methods. Technological surprise has occurred in the past and is something we must guard against. The work on future concepts and technologies is needed to assess intelligence information, to avoid technical surprises as well as to train stockpile stewards, and to provide alternative options for addressing any problems that may arise. The Panel also emphasizes that it is essential for Congress to be kept apprised of developments in foreign weapons programs and their potential implications for U.S. security.

Third, to sustain the nuclear stockpile we must restore an adequate weapons complex. Today, many capabilities are missing or deficient. As you know, the United States is the only major nuclear power that is unable to manufacture the nuclear components for its nuclear weapons. Restoring these capabilities can take a decade, or more. In the meantime we run serious risks. A plan and program are needed to restore capabilities in the weapons complex, and we need to get started now.

The adequacy of the production complex is a critical factor in determining the appropriate size and state of readiness of the inactive reserve of weapons and the pace of dismantlements. If we had the necessary capacity to repair or produce weapons, the U.S. could relieve our dependence on an inactive reserve.

Fourth, test readiness needs to be addressed much more realistically. This is not because a need to test is imminent, but because prudence requires that every President have a realistic option to return to testing, should technical or strategic events make it necessary. Our current readiness to return to testing is two to three years. The Panel recommends the Administration and Congress support test readiness of three months to a year, depending on the type of test. The Panel recalls that when the Senate rendered its advice and consent to the START II Treaty in 1996, its Resolution of Ratification stated that the United States should maintain the Nevada Test Site at a level that would allow testing to resume within one year following a national decision to do so.\2\ -

Fifth, NNSA needs to provide the strong leadership Congress sought when it created that organization in 1999. NNSA inherited an extremely difficult situation when it was created in 1999. DOE experienced large budget cuts in the early 1990s, and was never able to establish a coherent long-range vision for the program that was consistent with the available resources. NNSA was created to address these challenges, and to rectify other long-standing DOE management weaknesses.

NNSA needs to establish clear lines of authority, responsibility, and accountability. Laboratory directors and plant managers should be tasked and enabled to meet the requirements, standards, timelines, and budgets established by the NNSA leadership. The Panel reviewed NNSA's recent report on its proposed new organizational structure. In principle, the proposed approach can be made to work. It is time now for decisions, communication, and disciplined implementation.

Sixth, while the Panel's focus has been mainly on the NNSA weapons program, we also considered the related nuclear program activities in DOD. Three specific actions are recommended: 1) strengthening the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's programs for understanding weapons effects; 2) creating in DOD a systematic annual assessment of its delivery platforms, command and control, and other systems needed to perform a nuclear mission, that parallels the process for the weapons stockpile; and 3) reassessing weapon requirements in view of the NPR. expectations

The coming year will be critical in transforming the weapons program to meet the coming challenges. We should expect specific actions in several areas. Within this fiscal year: NNSA should complete its reorganization, resolve organizational relationships with DOE headquarters, and develop a plan for reducing unnecessary administrative burdens. The Secretary of Energy should complete a review of DOE orders and directives, and remove all unnecessary duplication of stafff. NNSA should clarify program management roles, responsibilities, and authorities. NNSA should create a future years program plan and a transparent budget defining deliverables, priorities, and resources for meeting NPR objectives, with a clear connection between resources and deliverables. This should include a credible program plan for reestablishing all of the capabilities needed for production of currently deployed warheads. Within the next two years: NNSA should implement new certification processes that fully exploit the strengths of the weapons laboratories. Concurrently, there should be significant progress in reducing surveillance backlogs of critical items. Both NNSA and DOD should demonstrate test readiness of three months to a year, depending on the kind of test. DOD should publish and implement a funded program for weapon effects phenomenology, simulation, and test readiness, and should complete at least one cycle of a new annual assessment process in which there is enhanced rigor in surveillance and assessment of DOD assets. There remains an urgent need for NNSA to address the fundamental problems that Congress created it to correct. The start-up phase is now over. If NNSA is unable to accomplish its tasks, Congress should take positive action to ensure that the nation's nuclear capabilities are adequately managed.

Thank you very much, doctor. I'm going to go to Admiral Owens now, and then if -- I hope you are able to stay for questions. If you can't, we understand. We'll submit them to you in writing. But I'm fearful, after consulting with Mr. Lugar, that there may be a vote on the floor, and I want to give Admiral Owens a chance to get his full statement in before that happens, if it does occur.

Well, thank you, Senator. It's a great pleasure to be here with you and to be a co-panelist with a gentleman I admire very much, John Foster. I would ask that I not read the full statement. I'd like to give you 4 or 5 minutes of an overview, if I may, and leave time for discussion, if that's OK?

I'd like to just comment that it's trite at this point in the history of our country to say that the world is a different place. And so, in light of the fact that there are so many dramatic changes around us in this world of terrorism and weapons, et cetera, it seems to me that the mandate is for change. And I wonder, if we look back on the year 2002 from the year 2012 or 2017, and we evaluate what has happened to us in the last 10 or 15 years, if we won't ask ourselves if we thought seriously and broadly enough about this whole range of nuclear weapons. And so I'd offer a few observations.

First -- and these will be very brief -- I see no real threat of large-scale nuclear attack against this Nation. Second, I think we're all well aware that there are literally thousands of nuclear weapons in Russia, not only the strategic ones, but the tactical ones, and they are dispersed in 40 facilities around the Russian countryside. Arguably, those 40 dispersed facilities are more or less secure, but one has to wonder if it is in our best interest to have large numbers of nuclear weapons stored in those facilities. In that regard, I couldn't offer stronger support for the cooperative threat reduction efforts of Senator Lugar and Senator Nunn. I think they're enormously important, and I hope that the beat goes on, in terms of supporting them.

Tactical nuclear weapons seem to be a marginal discussion. I can't imagine why. We read in the Washington Post and every other newspaper in this country about the strategic nuclear weapons reductions and going to 1,700 to 2,200 in the year 2012, but where is the discussion of tactical nuclear weapons, the thousands that the Russians have versus the many hundreds that we have, and are they not important? My view would be that those are the most proliferable of nuclear weapons, and there should be a keen focus on those tactical nuclear weapons.

I think another area that is being only marginally addressed is the area of cruise missiles with nuclear weapons onboard. And surely that has to be of great concern. As we look at the next 9/11, is it not very probable that it could come in the form of cruise missiles readily available on the world market whether it has a nuclear weapon or otherwise onboard? We need to be looking at that capability. And, of course, national missile defense doesn't provide an answer for that problem. So those missiles with a nuclear weapon are clearly of great concern.

I would offer that many solutions are not timely enough, that as we look back 15 years from now we'll ask ourselves if we couldn't have done it faster. And so while I salute this administration for its efforts to reduce the nuclear weapons and bringing the treaty to this body for approval, and I think it's definitely a step in the right direction, I believe that it should happen much faster than 2012. And if there are ways that we can do it faster, we should try to find those ways.

I'm concerned about "dirty" nuclear weapons, and that's a big issue, as we all know. The simple weapon -- conventional explosives, with very radioactive, contaminating material in it -- is a great threat to this Nation as we look at terrorist attacks in the future.

And it's, for me, very difficult to see how we have a use for several thousand nuclear weapons, whether it's the 2,000 with a significant responsive force -- I don't know what the possible use for those nuclear weapons is today or in the future for that number. Is it -- I can't imagine, unless it is some fear of what happens in Russia. And so we must maintain a readiness to deal with that. But, at the same time, it seems to me, as a Nation, we should be leading, in terms of trying to reduce the number of weapons below the numbers that are presently on the table.

Likewise, I think it's very problematical about what the use is for the U.S.-NATO nuclear capability. It has been seen in years past as an element of melding NATO together. And yet today, I think it stands in the way of addressing directly the tactical nuclear weapons inventory on the Russian side. And so we hear very little discussion of the U.S. tactical nuclear capability in Europe, and I think it's very important.

And, finally, I question whether the use of nuclear weapons as an answer -- as a deterrent for the use of biological and chemical weapons makes sense. Would we not want to be the ones who are leading the answer to deterence against those kind of weapons with other kinds of responses, rather than suggesting that we would respond with a nuclear weapon as a direct capability of this Nation?

So I think we need real change. And let me just mention three or four areas of significant -- I would call them "bigger- picture changes" that we might entail in this Nation that should be a part of the discussion. I'm certain these are not the right answers, but I'm also certain that we need to think about this much more broadly than we have in the past.

So, first of all, the issue of when changes could occur. Is it possible that we could look at a third-country storage area where we could put excess nuclear weapons from this country and from the Russian inventory in a very secure, monitored storage which the Russians and we monitored and was monitored by an international body of some sort? One could conjecture on where that might be, and it's probably wrong to say where it could be, but I think that it is possible, and that might allow us not to get to a lesser number of nuclear weapons a few years from now, but next year! And we should look seriously at permanent storage under the surveillance of trusted parties, including ourselves and the Russians, in another nation.

I think that we have an enormous capability in the world of the revolution of military affairs information-technology data links to be able to put an "American information umbrella" over suspect parts of the globe, be that the facilities in Iraq or the facilities in North Korea, and to monitor them 24 hours a day, real time, all weather -- the unmanned aerial vehicles, Global Hawk/Predator, many airplanes, tactical sensors, all data linked, give us a capability to see the ground in many ways that I think many may not fully appreciate -- and then to have a deterrence structure built around that information umbrella.

And it may have become time to think of the information umbrella as a serious part of our deterrence strategy as opposed to the nuclear umbrella. It applies to North Korea. It applies to Iraq. And it could apply to many other areas. You could easily see that if you had such an umbrella, there are many things we could say, in terms of diplomatic absolutes, to an offender, "Don't do x or we will do y," that make enormous good sense to me and, I think, have had very little discussion.

I think we could find a way with the Russians to absolutely and transparently control what happens after we destroy a nuclear weapon. When it's destroyed, there is still material. It is weapons grade. In some instances it is diluted weapons grade, and there is a lot of waste material. And we need to be able to address those issues. That's not a part of the discussion today. We need to be able to address those kinds of issues in a transparent, accountable way, because they are very much subject to being proliferated.

I support strongly the Nunn-Lugar Threat Reduction Program, and we should fund it and fund it and fund it.

I think we should find a way to develop a very good business with the Russians for safe, secure, transparent, transportable capability for nuclear weapons and nuclear waste around the world. When it is transported, it is a huge problem that we're all aware of, political in every nation in this world. And we and the Russians own the technologies to allow the safe, secure, accountable transportation of all of those kinds of materials, and we should get on with finding a way to do that as a cooperative scheme with the Russians. We need to put a lot of focus on tactical nuclear weapons.

And that brings us to the issue of NATO. And we have to question seriously whether the new NATO, the expanded NATO, is best served by having a continued nuclear umbrella as a part of it, and yet the discussion there is not present.

Note

[The prepared statement of Admiral Owens follows:] Prepared Statement of Adm. William A. Owens, U.S. Navy (Ret.), former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; co-CEO and Vice Chairman, Teledesic LLC, Bellevue, WA This testimony is primarily focused on the need for substantive CHANGE. Military institutions are by nature conservative, cautious of fads, and hesitant to rush headlong into change. Their conservatism is founded on experience, for they have learned, often very painfully, what can happen when they make the wrong changes and that they could be expected to deliver weapons while in the "midst of change." So, while the risks of being defeated in mankind's deadliest competition (WAR) drive militaries to innovate, those same risks inhibit accelerated change and rapid innovation. History suggests that there rarely are revolutions in the way we conduct national defense, and that is even more true in the matters of nuclear weapons, their doctrine, and the theory of use. It has now been over a decade since the demise of the bipolar world, for which we built our nuclear forces. Our hesitation to boldly change stems from many factors. But, I propose that in the face of a vastly different set of world conditions, we must change significantly, and we must include in that change the entire area of nuclear forces and deterrence.

William L. Owens

There has been considerable discussion about the Nuclear Posture Review, about Strategic Nuclear weapons reductions, about the ABM treaty and how it has been handled, about the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the National Missile Defense capability, and about the demise of the Russian nuclear capability. I want to try to stay away from too much of the detail of these very important subjects and try to provide some context for discussion (or argument), for it's my belief that unlike the normal approach to military planning, e.g. be very cautious or we might break something, the most negative approach we could now take would be to NOT undertake significant change. First a set of observations: There is no real threat of large scale nuclear attack from any country (unless there was a complete failure of government and a very unstable leadership developed in Russia). There are literally thousands of nuclear weapons (strategic and tactical) in about 40 dispersed facilities in Russia, which arguably over the last decade have had questionable security. The officers overseeing them are often poorly paid, living in remote areas, and poorly equipped with available modern security capabilities. There have been occasional reports of hunger strikes at a few of these facilities. Tactical nuclear weapons numbering in the "several thousands" for the Russians vs. "many hundreds" for the U.S. are generally UNADDRESSED, or at least only marginally noted, in most of the current rhetoric, treaties, and discussions. Note: These weapons are not too different in destructive power from those used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These, arguably are the weapons over which the Russians have had less control in terms of inventories, security procedures, etc. Cruise missiles with nuclear warheads are also in the "marginally addressed" category. These weapons are considerably easier to build, much more accurate, and much less visible to intelligence sources. They also are not addressed by our National Missile Defense initiative, except in footnotes. They could be the essence of a future 9/11 attack, but think about a dozen or so of them precisely targeted on particular places; the West Wing, the Speaker's office, several industry leaders, etc. Many "solutions" are not timely, envisioned to take place not over months, but over many years, and in some cases the "cow has been out of the barn" for a decade. America is unquestionably unapproachable in nuclear weapons capability, not only for the present, but as best as most of us can see, for many decades. In this regard, our reputation in the world and the future of nuclear weapons will depend upon how we "handle ourselves," what we do, what we say, what our budget funds, and how we deal with other world powers. Article VI of the NPT obligated each Party "to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament." We must be careful that our actions do not cause others to doubt our sincerity and to take actions that would spur on either an unhealthy arms race or worse in generations ahead lead to the availability of capability which others could use to threaten our Country. "Dirty Nuclear Weapons" are little addressed in terms of substantive policy direction or initiatives. There is considerable evidence that non-weapons grade materials are available and well known to terrorist organizations. There has been reference to an incident of Cesium-137/Strontium 90 use in a Moscow park in 1995. General Dudayev, the former head of the Chechyen Independence movement noted that this was only a "scant portion of the radioactive substances which we have at our disposal." It's very difficult to imagine what possible use we could have for several thousand offensive nuclear weapons. If our new relationship with Russia is indeed built on a new trust (like that we have with France or Great Britain?), and if we are indeed not to target them, it is hard to imagine what "requirement" we have for the present number of strategic nuclear weapons in our arsenal or the planned numbers for the future, including the fully diluted year 2012 number of 2000 operational nuclear weapons, let alone the "response force" of several thousand more. We should remember that this capability costs this nation significant taxpayer dollars, dollars which might go to some of the threats mentioned above or to other important national defense priorities. Even more importantly, the perception of our Country as not being sincere about reducing the viability of nuclear weapons and fostering a continuing arms race is damaging. In light of the above it is also difficult to ascertain the purpose of the U.S.-led NATO/European nuclear capability. If there is a perceived use of nuclear weapons for deterring the use of chemical or biological weapons, it would appear to be weak at best. We have a very convincing conventional force which is likely to be a much more effective deterrent, and we do have an ability to use it pre-emptively when we know that such a capability is being developed. Are we not better to take a position against the use of nuclear weapons for such deterrence. . . . "Use Chemical or Biological weapons against us or our allies, and your life will not be the same. We have the ability to eliminate those who would use or sponsor such a use, and we do NOT need to use nuclear weapons!" So, could I give you some thoughts on big ideas? Let me suggest just a few for consideration: First, There is a real issue with WHEN changes occur. Could we and the Russians reach agreement to put large numbers of excess strategic and tactical nuclear weapons in third country "permanent storage" under the surveillance of "trusted parties," in which complete transparency and security of the weapons is maintained? Such a plan could be implemented in months vs. years, and could be the basis for true downsizing without the threat of loss of control of the weapons in the ensuing years. It could also include OTHER nations and be the basis for real confidence in general global downsizing. Second, we could develop Information Umbrella(s) which could be used to provide information to support nuclear deterrence, perhaps information about precisely what is happening in Iraq around the CBW facilities?, or in North Korea around the missile facilities?, or in Iran around suspected nuclear development sites? Or ?? Such information umbrellas would be developed from sensors on satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles, and a number of other aircraft in our present inventory. All information could readily be "fused" to provide a 24 hour a day, real-time, all weather accurate picture of the entire area (country?). We could readily put 5 or 6 of these in place around the world positioned optimally to give America the best strategic picture of crisis areas. And could we develop deterrent strategies using that information, e.g. "don't do . . . or we will . . . (such message for public or private delivery). Is this a more effective plan than the Nuclear Umbrella which we have provided for our NATO or Japanese or Korean allies? Third, with the Russians we could find ways to absolutely and transparently account for and control (1) the nuclear materials which remain after the destruction of nuclear weapons, and (2) nuclear waste which results from commercial or military nuclear plants as well as other nuclear residue (remembering the dirty nuclear weapon threat). Fourth, continue with a much more aggressive Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program with a focus on both strategic and tactical nuclear weapons. It might be the best money we spend to help the Russians destroy their nuclear arsenals. How much is too much to spend on such an important program? Fifth, develop U.S/Russian cooperative programs which could make money for cooperating businesses from both countries which allow for transparent, safe, constantly monitored (modern communications/GPS/etc.), accountable, and secure global transportation of both weapons grade and diluted weapons grade nuclear materials, as well as nuclear waste. Note that the U.S. has purchased 500 MT of "blended-down" nuclear weapons grade materials for use in our commercial nuclear power plants. This is big and very important business and could be critical for the absolute control of these nuclear materials. There is a potential market of a few billion dollars of revenue in this business, and there is no focus for the activity today. As a matter of policy and implementation we should proceed with this kind of initiative now. Sixth, put some focus on tactical nuclear weapons where we are faced with thousands of Russian weapons (as compared to a few hundred for us). And the Russian weapons are arguably controlled far less rigorously than their strategic weapons. This would require a focus on our nuclear policy as it relates to NATO. NATO and the bilateral security treaties we maintained during the Cold War had a sublime logic based on mutual utility. They reconciled our desires to gain both tangible and political support from our allies, with our allies' desires to influence and control the views, and, more importantly, the actions of the United States, the superpower with which they were allied. NATO and our alliance with Japan offset the Soviet military threat. But it also provided an internal balance in the face of the profound military-technical disparity represented by our nuclear weapons. Germany and Japan, and for a while France, agreed to forego developing nuclear weapons in exchange for an American nuclear umbrella. We promised, in turn, to deter Soviet military action by the threat of nuclear escalation and backed our promise by forward stationing American forces on the territory of our allies. Our allies, in exchange, acquiesced to American alliance leadership. We, in exchange, agreed to procedural and institutional constraints on our freedom to act unilaterally. NATO and our alliance with Japan deterred a common threat. But equally important, they assured a mutually beneficial balance among the members, a balance that was greatly unbalanced in terms of their military power and ours. But Europe and the Russian threat has changed. Arguably the threat of Russian tactical nuclear weapons is much more important than is the possession of a small NATO nuclear force. That nuclear force hardly melds the alliance in this new world, and it is very likely that the security of Europe would be greatly enhanced if both we and the Russians eliminated all tactical nuclear weapons. A good case could be made that a U.S./NATO Information Umbrella mentioned above could be an important element of a replacement strategy. The key, of course, would be our willingness to share the U.S. information edge. This would mean opening access to our national technical capabilities wider than we have been willing to do in the past and sharing the fruit of those and our other capabilities more broadly than we have done before. But like the nuclear umbrella before it, a U.S. "information" umbrella could reinforce a mutually beneficial relationship between the United States and our allies. Seven, address the cruise missile threat. If there is a plausible pseudo-military threat to our Country it is this one. These missiles are inexpensive, accurate, fly several hundred kilometers, are relatively easy to acquire, and can deliver nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. The ability to put together "systems of systems" (space, air, and ground sensors, computer networks, and bandwidth communications) to address this critical threat would be of vast benefit to the protection of our Country and our allies. It needs dedicated focus and considerable funding. It is my conclusion that original new-world-relevant thinking is more necessary now than it has ever been. There will be many better ideas than those addressed above. But it seems that there is a mandate to truly change in a World which is truly changed. The Chairman. Thank you very much, Admiral Owens. We are -- doctor?

Let us say, for example, that our government had a list of countries with weapons-of-mass-destruction and associated laboratories and materials. As I understand your proposal, we would do our best, through national tactical means, rather intelligence means, to divine where these places are and what they are doing. Ideally, we would have cooperation with Russia in that respect and maybe other countries, who, in the same spirit of the current war effort, are sharing intelligence, because this is the heart of the matter with regard to success in the war against terrorism.

So let us say we get this cooperation. How would we accomplish this task? Can you actually launch enough satellites to maintain real-time imagery in a way that, as you've suggested, the whole world monitors what is going on, and can detect telltale signs that could lead to action based upon the evidence that is produced.

William L. Owens

Right, Senator. Well, I think it is at the crux of the issue on the information umbrella. It is really in this Nation's capability today to do much more with information technology than we do in DOD and in our other agencies. The information umbrella, I think, can be constructed of existing technology. It's not a future kind of thing, but it is a different cultural kind of thing. It is to lead with our information strength -- not to lead with ships and tanks and airplanes, but to lead with information technology. And I think what that means is, yes, there are satellites, and, of course, they are orbiting and passing, and so you don't get continuous information, but we do have these remarkable new technical capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles, the Global Hawk, at 70,000 feet above an area, pretty much out of the range of most surface-to-air missile systems and, if used wisely, can be kept outside of the range of missile systems. We have Predators, and we have long-range systems that have the ability to detect moving targets on the ground with what we call "MTI sensors."

If you put these various sensors together -- and we have companies in the commercial marketplace in this country that can do that readily with new software -- Java, C++ -- tying together data links and sensor links, and then being able to deliver the 24-hour-a-day, real-time, all-weather picture of a large area. A hundred-mile diameter I think is very doable. And if you knew four or five places in the world that were suspect -- maybe it's Pyong Yang, North Korea; maybe it is Iraq, and we know pretty much, I think, where those facilities might be -- then we could lead with the information umbrella, establish with our friends and allies in the region that this is meant to be a deterrent position, and deliver demarches to the Iraqis to the extent -- or the North Koreans or whoever the suspect country is -- that, "Here is a list of things you may not do. You may not move vehicles from one facility to another. You may not have people going in or out of that facility. And the answer to your getting this new kind of sanctions lifted is to allow full-time inspectors on the ground."

I think much of that could be dealt with either quietly, in diplomatic circles, or openly. We have the technical ability to do this in several areas around the world. It is our great strength, this information technology, and I think this is the kind of thing that might make for real deterrence for someone who is considering doing some bad things with weapons of mass destruction.

Does the Senator mind if I intervened? I think you're dead right. It's one of those ideas that seems to be so self evident that it would make sense to do it -- I always wonder why we don't. But you indicated the need for surveillance systems that are out of the range of surface-to- air missiles. It would seem to me that that wouldn't matter, that obviously, if someone uses a surface-to-air, by definition, there is a problem, and we should be able to build that in.

Senator, I agree. There is this issue that -- with the advent of unmanned aerial vehicles and, therefore, the ability to preclude loss of life when one of them is shot down, that as soon as someone shoots at one, you know from whence the missile came, and you can put a missile quickly onto that spot, and at least that missile site won't shoot down the next unmanned aerial vehicle. So I think there are some very interesting deterrent policies that can be built around that kind of capability.

No, that's all right. But let me carry this further. Now, this is not hypothetical, because we're in a war against terrorism, and a good number of us have suggested that this means seriously making certain that every area that has weapons of mass destruction or materials is secure. Now, we would ask, for example, of our friends in Pakistan and India to make certain that -- whatever they have, that it's secure. It is imperative as far as we're concerned, and the rest of the world, that these weapons do not fall into the wrong hands.

Now, at some point, we may run into somebody who seriously objects to this -- perhaps the Iraqis, who would say, "Well, it's none of your business." Now, at this point, it's been proposed by some that we would ultimately get into a military conflict over the access to their suspected WMD sites. If what you're saying follows through -- for example, you issue demarches. You say, "You cannot run a truck up to the plant, or people cannot come and go." Well, let's say the Iraqi leader says, "Let's test the system." And so, in fact, two trucks drive up. Now, at this point, there is a big difference, obviously, between an all-out war against Iraq and what might be called a "surgical strike" in which the two trucks are eliminated. In other words, to follow this through, you have maybe a different kind of tactic for a successful war against weapons of mass destruction, proliferation, interdiction of all of this.

Am I moving well beyond the curve of the doable? You start with diplomacy, but the information may also lead to military action, and it could be very specific. In the same way that, in Afghanistan, we tried very hard to have no collateral damage through precision guided munitions and command, control, and communication capabilities combining ground, air, and naval forces. And is this doable as we get into this larger situation of multiple nations and many threats of proliferation?

Well, Senator, I think you raise a number of interesting points. I do believe that -- and when I was the Vice Chairman, I did a number of studies inside the JROC environment and the joint warfare capability assessments that, with the fusion of these many sensors, you really can see very, very clearly with very high resolution the area that you are looking at. Probably some of those technologies we shouldn't talk about in open hearing, but there is a great capability to integrate SIGINT and HUMINT and IMINT, imagery intelligence, and MASINT, the sum of all of the INTs, if you will, into a fused picture of that area.

We do have the ability to do that, but we don't do it for some reason, because one platform belongs to one agency or service and another one belongs to another, and the data links don't work together, and the COM structure doesn't work together. So, for some reason, we haven't quite gotten to the stage where we could do it, but that's not because of lack of technology, it's because of the culture in which we live.

Now, if we saw information technology as truly being our great strength, then I think we have the ability to do the kinds of things that you suggest. And we have also the great precision and flexibility to tune the policy to the situation. If, in fact, Saddam Hussein started to drive trucks with women and children down the road, we may find a way to deal with this that isn't to target every truck, but you could make it very public that we are going to do this, and then if he does it, it is he who is responsible, not we.

So I just think that there is an enormous capability here, in our country and no other country, that we should take advantage of strategically. And, you know, if we're worried about the North Koreans launching a ballistic missile, then we should have this kind of information umbrella over that launch erector. And when they erect, that would be the one thing we say, "Do not take a missile to the launch pad, and do not erect." And --

Admiral Owens [continuing]. If you do, then we will A, B, and C. And, of course, we have an ability with a range of precision weapons to be able to respond quickly. I think of the Army ATACMS as a great weapon for putting together with the information umbrella. As you know, it's the only conventional ballistic missile, like the Scud, in the American inventory; except, for us, it works. And it goes very quickly, because it's ballistic. It gets there in a matter of one fifth or less the time that a cruise missile or an airplane would take. And so you can respond very precisely and very quickly to things that are happening that America doesn't want to see happen.

And I think you could build a real coalition among our allies around such concepts, where it's doing good for the right reasons. So I believe it's technically possible. I think it's very, very much doable.

Mr. Chairman, I'll not belabor this issue, but I would just say that both of us have shared, throughout the past few months, both anxiety and exasperation as we've tried to examine why the agencies of our government couldn't track the money or actions of terrorists. And again and again, you run through all the jurisdictional hassles, the computers that don't work, the people who don't cooperate.

These are tough tasks institutionally. Our government really wasn't organized to handle these threats. But nevertheless, intelligent Americans have got to try to get over these barriers and put these things together, because an awful lot depends upon it. And I just appreciate your taking this time, first, to raise the issue and then, second, in a very concise way, from your expertise, to say that it's doable. And our problem is, I suppose, to spur on our leaders to do it and to keep raising those questions and trying to have that platform.

Mr. Chairman, as just an exit question -- and it's really more than that -- but I'd just simply note that Admiral Owens mentioned again the problem of the tactical missiles. And the fact is that the Russians have never really wanted to engage in talking about tactical missiles. It's a subject that, as soon it comes up, it moves away.

On the other hand, whether they want to or not, I'm just want to ask the witness, from his own experience, and maybe you've found some Russians to be more forthcoming. If not, how do we really get into this in a big way? Because otherwise, as you say, we've dealt with the large-missile warhead predicament, but the thousands of tactical weapons, many in Russia, at least as I understand their point of view, are a substitute for that. The maintenance of the old stuff and the big stuff is costly, even dangerous. As maintenance declines, then an accident might happen. Whereas, the tactical weapons are perceived as something else, that, as you downsize ambitions and downsize your program, you maybe downsize the size of the weapon. And that sort of fits the scope.

Yes, sir. Well, I think that, you know, that roles have shifted after the end of the cold war, with now the Russian military being conventionally inferior to what the NATO armies would be. It used to feel the other way around. And so we and our NATO allies thought it was very important to have tactical nuclear weapons to offset the conventional strength of the Russian military -- the Soviet military.

Today, it feels the other way to the Russians. And I suspect they're holding onto the tactical nuclear weapons as a hedge against our conventional strength. But as we move, as the administration seems to be, to a new kind of relationship with the Russians, both in the nuclear world, as well as the conventional world, and we start, I hope, to see the Russians more like England and France than like the old Soviet enemy, then we should have very much on the table this issue of tactical nuclear weapons, as you said, and really get to the core of getting rid of them if we can.

A part of that is our own problem, I think, which is that many policymakers in our country believe that the NATO nuclear force is critical to holding NATO together and to having a genuine capability -- against what, I'm not sure, unless it's the Russians. But then again, we're together with the Russians. And now we have the new agreement with the Russians to actually be much more present with us in NATO.

So in that regard, it just seems to me that we should find a way that we, ourselves, come to grips with the fact that NATO does not need a nuclear force, a nuclear umbrella. An American umbrella of some kind that is used to protect Europe -- against what, again, I would ask. And that should be step one in leading us to a decision that we should undertake serious, serious dialog with the Russians to go to zero on tactical nuclear weapons and dramatically affect the business of proliferation.

And again, this brings us back, then, when you go to zero, and while we're getting more Nunn-Lugar money to help us truly destroy the weapons, what do we do with them? And I would find a place to store them under U.S.-Russian-international control -- where there is transparency and security -- while we're getting ready to destroy them.

Admiral, you're doing today what you did when you were at the Pentagon, and that is you're forcing people to think a little out of the box here.

One of my great disappointments after 30 years in this committee is we all used to use the phrase you used earlier -- I can't remember exactly what you said -- but "it's trite to say" -- I think you were referring to "this is a new world." It really is drastically different, but I don't think, including the Nuclear Posture Review, that we've really -- there's any really fundamentally new thinking. And the thinking that's taking place, it concerns me it's going in the opposite direction that we should be thinking about.

Let me explain what I mean by that, and I'm going to ask you to comment on this. With regard to the notion of having 24- hour eyes watching suspect sites in countries, you've testified, and others have privately briefed me, that that's fully within our capability. It costs a lot of money. It's fully within our capability to do that. And yet we're talking about dealing with those suspect sites as the rationale for spending a minimum of a hundred billion. And if it's a layered system, it could be a trillion, depending on what they mean by "layered," for a national missile defense. When, in fact, the ultimate national missile defense is taking it out before it's fired. I mean, it seems to me that's the ultimate national missile defense.

Second, it doesn't require a nuclear weapon to take it out -- "it," whatever "it" is -- before "it" is fired. And yet we seem to be moving in a direction -- and this crosses party lines -- where the answer to the emerging threat is another incredibly cumbersome and expensive and highly technical system that has incredible limitations once you get beyond ballistic missiles. As you said, cruise missiles sitting off the shore is -- I mean, any missile defense is absolutely useless to deal with that -- I mean, national missile defenses.

At the same time, the thing that concerns me about the -- even though there's not much that's fundamentally new in the NPR -- is it seems to -- in another -- to steal a phrase from a totally different context, teaching constitutional law -- it seems to "squint toward" nuclear testing and new nuclear weapons.

So it seems what we're doing is -- we have two gigantic advantages relative to the rest of the world. One is our conventional capability -- gigantic advantage. I can't think of any time in American history where, relative to any other single nation or combination of nations, our conventional capability was as disparately disproportionate, in terms of capability. And, second, our technology capability to look and see what's going on.

And we seem to be taking those two gigantic advantages and cashing them in, in a sense, or not cashing them in, for two areas that are our biggest disadvantage, although we have a great advantage, in relative terms. Why the hell would we want to have a conflict on the nuclear side of the equation and encourage nations to conclude they had to beef up that capability or acquire it, when, in fact, that could do us, notwithstanding our superiority on the nuclear side of the equation, great damage; whereas, if we, in effect, were to downplay or foreswear -- "foreswear" is too strong a word -- move in the opposite direction of making it much more difficult for anyone to acquire, either by justifying their actions relative to ours or by us and the rest of the world allowing them to gain that capacity, we yield an advantage. I mean, I don't understand what -- and I realize this is -- I'm talking in broad trends, but am I missing something here?

Am I missing something about the trend that seems to be continuing, which is -- and it's not just this administration; the last administration never got off this wicket, either -- of we've got to figure out better tactical nuclear weapons, earth- penetrating nuclear weapons, weapons that have a different capacity, intercept capability in, you know, mid-course, possibly weaponizing space, et cetera, when, in fact, it seems the answer lies in our incredible existing advantages in the two areas where no one's realistically going to be able to compete with us in the near term. I'm not being facetious when I say -- am I missing something here?

You know, sir, our culture doesn't allow us to be very radical in the way we change. We seem to have been built around the force that was designed, in an organizational and cultural sense, by Napoleon, and we have a lot of difficulty getting away from that.

When you start from that and say it's not a matter of the technology or the capability or what smart people would do, it's a matter of things like the Army-Navy game or West Point or Annapolis, wonderful institutions, and should we put naval people into West Point for a year, and West Pointers into Annapolis for a year. And the answer to that is always, "Absolutely not." I can't imagine why the answer is "absolutely not," but it's the same answer that causes your frustration with this issue, because it's culture. It is the Army-Navy game, and we all love the Army-Navy game and the culture of it and the battle between services.

But it's also true that when I became a commander, at 20 years in the service, I knew nothing about the Army, and I knew navies around the world much better personally and professionally than I knew the American Army. And so that kind of culture doesn't help us with the quandary that you have articulated.

I think that we do have an ability to change radically, and we must, as you said, because the world has changed. I agree with you. I think that it doesn't cost a lot of money to put in place these new technologies of information umbrellas if we were able to simply take all of technologies we have today and put them together. It's not -- this is not multi-billion-dollar kind of stuff, I think.

The national missile defense issue, I am sympathetic with your position. We need to do a lot of testing and a lot of R&D. The deployment of these national systems, I think, is problematic. It takes a long time. It's questionable technology. But the regional technology, to strike in the boost phase or, as we talked before, with an information umbrella, to put a conventional weapon precisely on that spot, is not Flash Gordon stuff, and it needs to be very much part of our arsenal.

So I'm very much in agreement with you on most of your points. I do think that Secretary Rumsfeld has been trying very hard to institute real transformation and change, but there is a great resistance inside the system. There are bureaucracies two or three levels down that preclude this kind of movement. And you've know them better than I. But whatever we need now, it's leadership from the top to really make for substantive change in these areas.

Well, let me ask two specific questions. In my experience, and especially in the last 3 or 4 years, dealing with, meeting with, heads of state, Foreign Ministers, Defense Ministers, one of the things that I've concluded is -- part of our dilemma internationally is I don't ever recall our allies questioning our motives as often as occurs now. And in my estimation, one of the ways to deal with that is to, in effect, use it in a different context, have more transparency, in that being able to make the case to our allies why we're taking the action that we're taking and why we're suggesting the action we're suggesting.

And on the issue of being able to unify our intelligence capability in a way that would be able to give us real-time observation, I'm of the view that that would be greeted with an overwhelming positive response, particularly by our allies and many others, and it would have an ancillary impact, which is that it would fundamentally impact on their view of our motivation and hegemony and all the things that they second guess about our various actions or our assertions.

Now, I am not so naive, as having done this this long, to think that this would be easy to do. But as I understand what you're suggesting, in terms of the intelligence capability that you're talking about unifying, is that this would be something that would be open and shared with other nations, as opposed to us having these "eyes in the sky," if you will, intersected with all other INTEL that we have and then us, after the fact, sharing this information. It would be nice --

They do have some capabilities in these areas, both satellite and other sensors. They could be a part of this, or not, and we share the information. But I am grandly in favor of sharing much more information with our friends. We can be very selective about the kinds of things that we can share without giving up critical national capabilities. But we're out there around the world today with the British and the Australians and the Canadians, and they are as though we are one force. And the more we can be open with them, in my view, the better off we're going to be.

It's not unusual, in some instances, to find your wing man being from one of those very close allied countries. And if your son is flying in that airplane, you want to make sure that the wing man has every bit of technology that he can have to work with us. And so I think that transparency of information is very important, and it adds a lot to our credibility in this world.

I might also add that, you know, the world of commercial telecoms and IT makes this all easier to share. We've all worried about how we're getting in front of our allies, how they are falling behind. But, indeed, much of this is moving toward a Web-based TCP, IP, high-bandwidth, commercial technology, T1 kind of -- all these new terms -- world in which we can tie ourselves together with new kinds of integrating software that weren't there 5 years ago, some of the Java, the VB, the C++ kinds of software that allow us to tie legacy systems together, and that means tie our systems together with our allies in ways we never thought possible. So there are ways we can do some very interesting things using the commercial technologies that are at the heart of this Nation's great strength right now responsible for much of the productivity of our Nation and could be responsible for the productivity of our foreign policy and for our military capability, as well.

Well, Admiral, I have so many more questions, as I'm sure Senator Lugar does. I'd like to ask your permission if we could submit several to you in writing and ask whether you'd be willing to come, either in a public or in a private setting, to discuss some of these ideas with us further.

I particularly am going to submit some questions relative to what I refer to as the "China factor," in terms of our U.S. strategic posture, if I may, but that would take us onto another half hour, I'm afraid. So, Admiral, thank you very, very much. Again, it's been illuminating and encouraging.

Our next panel will begin with a most distinguished scientist, Professor Steven Weinberg, of the University of Texas. In 1979, Professor Weinberg won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Throughout his career, Professor Weinberg has combined cutting-edge work with an ability to explain modern science to the rest of us. His books, "The First Three Minutes" and "Dreams of a Final Theory," have been bestsellers, at least by standards applied to works on physics and big galaxies and tiny particles. Professor Weinberg has also dealt before with the military and political policy implications of modern physics. And he's a former member of JASON, and he was a one-time consultant with the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.

Our second witness in the second panel will be Dr. Loren Thompson, chief operating officer of the Lexington Institute. Dr. Thompson wrote an interesting piece recently in the Wall Street Journal in which he argued essentially -- I hope I'm characterizing it correctly -- that critics in the Nuclear Posture Review should basically calm down, because all the proposals in it were really aimed at buttressing nuclear deterrence. And I'm looking forward to being reassured.

And our final witness has come back again and again for us, Joe Cirincione, director of the Nonproliferation Project at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He's a man of many talents who's been a frequent witness before this committee, and he was once a staff member of the House Armed Services Committee. He really specializes in the nexus between military and foreign policy, and we will count on him to draw together many of the points of view that will be expressed this morning.

In the review, the Bush administration announces plans to reduce the number of operationally deployed nuclear weapons from the roughly 6,000 figure we have today to between 1,700 and 2,200 in about 10 years from now. But this number, even after this reduction, would be still vastly more than could be used in retaliation for any other country's use of weapons of mass destruction. And, furthermore, the administration plans to retain about 7,000 intact weapons in various reserves, overhaul and so on. And this is about half the rate of reduction of our nuclear weapons arsenal that would have been called for by the START II and START III agreements. I would say that this isn't liquidating the legacy of the cold war, but desperately hanging onto it.

There was a rationale for maintaining a very large nuclear arsenal during the cold war. We had to be sure that the Soviets would be deterred from any sort of surprise attack on the United States by the certainty that enough of our arsenal would survive to allow us to deliver a devastating response. And that rationale is now obsolete.

There is, however, another possible use of a large nuclear arsenal, which is not entirely obsolete, and that is to launch a preemptive attack against Russian strategic weapons. I say Russia here, because the large size of our arsenal would be irrelevant for a preemptive attack against any other power. But, on the other hand, even if we were unable to neutralize the Soviet deterrent during the cold war, now, as the Russian nuclear forces become increasingly immobile, with their missile-launching submarines tied up at docks and their mobile land-based missiles in fixed garrisons, our nuclear arsenal is large enough to put Russian nuclear forces at risk to a preemptive U.S. first strike. Now, I'm not saying we would do that, but one has to think about the implications of this.

It might be thought that the ability to launch a preemptive strike against Russia's strategic nuclear force is a pretty good one to have. But, in fact, it poses enormous dangers, and to us as well as to Russia. The Russians can count missiles as well as we, and as "prudent" defense planners, they're likely to rate our chances of a successful preemptive attack more highly than we would. I'm not worried about them getting angry with us or breaking off relations with us. I'm worried about what they may do. The cheap and easy thing for them to do is to keep their forces on a hair-trigger alert, posing the danger to the United States of a massive Russian attack by mistake. This danger will be further increased if the United States proceeds with a national missile defense that might be perceived, and I think would be perceived, by the Russians to have some capability against a ragged Russian second strike, or, if we follow the recommendation of the Nuclear Posture Review that the United States should develop real-time intelligence capabilities of a sort that would allow us to target even mobile Russian missiles on the road.

Even though this threat of a large Russian mistaken attack caused by their high state of alert is not an acute one, it's chronic. It's with us all the time, and it's also the only threat we face that could destroy our country beyond our ability to recover. I don't agree that terrorism is now the greatest threat we face. The threat of a Russian mistaken attack is a threat we face year in and year out. It's the only one that can destroy us, and it's the one that gives me cold sweats when I wake up in the middle of the night.

This brings me to the one real value our large nuclear arsenal has. We can trade away most of our arsenal for corresponding cuts in Russian forces, and this is what we should be doing. And I don't mean cuts to about 2,000 deployed weapons with 7,000 in various reserves, but as a first step to not more than 1,000 nuclear weapons of all sorts, including those in various reserves, as was called for by a 1997 report of the National Academy of Sciences. In this way, the danger of a mistaken Russian launch wouldn't be eliminated, but the stakes might be millions or tens of millions of lives rather than hundreds of millions of lives.

It would also greatly reduce the danger of diversion of Russian nuclear weapons or weapons material to criminals or terrorists. We shouldn't be seeking the maximum future flexibility for both sides in strategic agreements we make with the Russians. We should be seeking the greatest possible irreversibility and transparency on both sides based on binding ratified treaties. I'm awfully glad that Senator Biden was able to bring his influence to bear to get the reduction, such as it is, in the form of a treaty.

For this reason, I've joined some other scientists in a statement calling for an accelerated reduction of our nuclear arsenal and other steps to improve our security. And, with the committee's permission, I'd like to include that statement in the published text of my testimony, but not read it here.

It's not only that we're not moving fast enough in the right direction, not remotely fast enough, but, in some respects, the Bush administration seems to be moving in just the wrong direction. One example is the abrogation of the 1972 treaty limiting anti-ballistic missile systems. Another example, which I want to talk about here briefly, is the resurrection of the idea of developing nuclear weapons for use rather than for just deterrence. For instance, the Nuclear Posture Review calls for the development of low-yield earth- penetrating nuclear weapons for attacks on underground facilities.

Now, this doesn't make much sense, technically. You can't drive a missile down below a certain depth before it crumples and will not perform its task. The depth of penetration -- I think a reasonable maximum, according to calculations I've gone over, is about 80 feet in rock or concrete. That's just considering the crumpling of the missile. The actual maximum depth is likely to be considerably less than that because of the vulnerability of electronics in the missile to the great deceleration that you would be having.

Now, that is enough of a depth to convert the missile's energy into a destructive underground blast wave. But even so, it would only destroy tunnels that are at depths considerably less than 300 feet, so it would have no effect against really deep targets. And the precise depth to which it would be effective wouldn't known anyway, because it would depend on geological details that we couldn't know.

To have confidence that the underground target had been destroyed, if we developed such a weapon and used it, we'd still have to have troops on the ground. As Loren Thompson said in an article in the Wall Street Journal, "We would need American boots on the ground moving site to site, eliminating all weapons and facilities." So with American troops on the ground, it's not clear that, even with such a weapon, that we would find a need for using it.

There's a great reason for not using it, and that is the radiation effects it would produce. Experience in the series of underground nuclear explosions in Project Ploughshare showed that in order to keep the cavity containing a lot of radioactive debris below the surface, a one-kiloton explosion would have to be kept below about 300 feet. The depth for smaller yields decreases very slowly with the yield. There's no way we're going to drive an earth-penetrating weapon down to below 300 feet. It's just not possible unless someone takes it down in an elevator.

In order to avoid the fallout from a nuclear explosion at the greatest depth I think we can reach, about 80 feet, you'd have to reduce the yield to the equivalent of 19 tons of TNT. It's not much more than you could achieve anyway with conventional explosives.

In any case, the experience on which the figure I mentioned, of 300 feet, is based, the experience in the Ploughshare test, had to do with explosions in underground cavities that were excavated, but without a shaft going to the surface. But our earth-penetrating weapon would create such a shaft from the surface down to where the explosion occurs, a very nice way of producing a tremendous plume of radioactive material, which we would not be happy about.

And it's not just a question of not wanting to cause collateral damage to innocent civilians. Those civilians may be people we're trying to get over on our side, as we have been in Afghanistan. They may be our own troops going from site to site checking whether or not we've actually destroyed these underground facilities. This is not the cold war, as we keep being told. We have to worry about the damage we do to people on the ground near where the attack is occurring.

The fallout produced by a one-kiloton explosion at a depth of 80 feet would kill everyone within a radius of about half a mile, and that's if the wind isn't blowing. If the wind is blowing, God knows where the fallout goes. It might land on one of our allies.

There are other signs of an increased interest in developing nuclear weapons for actual use. There's a statement by William Schneider -- this, as far as I know, was not in the Nuclear Posture Review, but it's another straw in the wind -- the chairman of the Defense Science Board, that announced a renewed study of nuclear armed missile defense interceptors. In a sense, I find this perversely welcome, because it verifies what critics of missile defense systems have been saying all along, that the decoy problem will prevent you from being able to launch a successful exo-atmospheric interception. I think there are severe problems with nuclear interceptors also, but I won't go into them, as this wasn't part of the Nuclear Posture Review.

Now, for the dubious advantages of such nuclear weapons, we would be paying a very high price. One item on the bill, as has been mentioned by a number of people -- I think, Senator Biden, you mentioned it -- was the pressure for resumed testing of nuclear weapons. Just think, for example, of relying on underground, deep-penetrating nuclear weapons and not knowing whether that shaft that the weapon itself digs from the surface down to where it explodes is going to provide a highway for the fallout to come out. I don't see how we can know that without carrying out testing -- testing, in fact, which has a good chance of producing fallout in the atmosphere. How can we know that a missile defense system, based on nuclear interceptors, would work in a realistic engagement without testing it in a realistic way?

The resumption of nuclear testing would be a dangerous break with the past. We haven't carried out even underground tests since the previous Bush administration, and neither has Russia or China, which is very much in our interest. It would violate our commitment under the Nonproliferation Treaty to de- emphasize the role of nuclear weapons, and it would have terrible effects on proliferation throughout the world.

And, furthermore, of course, the programs to develop nuclear weapons for use would stand in the way of what I think is so essential to let us all get through the night without terrible fears about a mistaken Russian attack. It would stand in the way of a massive mutual reduction of nuclear arms. In fact, I'm not sure whether a massive reduction of nuclear weapons is being passed over in order for us to be able to continue these weapons programs, or whether it's the other way around, the weapons programs are being proposed in order to slow down cuts in our nuclear arsenal. It's probably something of both.

I remember the days of the debate about the first test ban treaty, when one of the arguments against ratifying the test ban treaty is that it would force us to stop work on wonderful opportunities, like Project Orion, which was to build a spaceship that would be propelled by continual nuclear explosions, or Project Ploughshare, digging canals with nuclear weapons.

This is a great moment of opportunity. Now, for the first time, we have a President of Russia who is anxious to have good relations with the United States, anxious to reduce forces, anxious to decommission nuclear weapons, and, furthermore, who, unlike President Yeltsin, has the power to bring this about in his own country. And it seems to me we're letting this opportunity slip away.

But, of course, the proposals for new nuclear weapons are much more dangerous than Ploughshare or Orion were. We are, as Senator Biden said, the world's leader in conventional weaponry, and it's terribly in our interest to preserve a somewhat mystical taboo against the use of nuclear weapons, a taboo that has grown steadily stronger since 1945.

I'm not worried whether our developing nuclear weapons is going to make other countries not like us, but I'm worried about its effect on what they do. I know that previous nuclear programs, like that of India, might have been stopped if it were possible to have a comprehensive test ban with Russia early enough.

Is it unlikely that the same kind of decisionmaking will apply in Egypt or Iran or Japan? Is it likely that the nonproliferation treaty will survive at all when the United States is developing and testing nuclear weapons for actual use?

Now, it's very often argued that the future is uncertain, and that we can't tell what enemies we might face in coming years, and, therefore, we should retain a maximum capability to use our nuclear arsenal in whatever way may prove necessary. Well, it is true the future is uncertain. But we may increase rather than decrease uncertainty by maximizing our nuclear capabilities. We can't tell what enemies we may face, it's often said. Well, that's true. We also can't tell what crisis may occur in Russian-U.S. relations that may put us at risk from a mistaken launch on their part. We can't tell what terrorists may appropriate part of the Russian arsenal. We can't tell what dangers we may face from a large Chinese arsenal built to preserve their deterrence from the threat of an American first strike backed up by a missile defense system. We can't tell what countries may be tipped toward a decision to develop nuclear weapons by new U.S. weapons programs or resume nuclear testing. There's no certainty, whatever we do.

We have to decide what are the most important dangers. And these dangers may be increased rather than decreased by other countries' responses to our nuclear weapons programs. As far as I know, the Nuclear Posture Review does not even engage the question of what the programs it calls for will have on the actions of other countries. We don't have the last move.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Britain was in very much the same position we are now, but with regard to naval strength. Just as we are today overwhelmingly the most powerful country as far as conventional weapons are concerned, they were then overwhelmingly the world's greatest naval power. Then in 1905, Admiral Sir John Fisher, the First Sea Lord, pushed forward the construction of a new type of battleship which would have all big guns -- 12-inch guns, the largest that could be made at the time. It would be very fast, greatly superior to any battleship that existed. The prototype was named after one of Nelson's ships, the "Dreadnought."

Dreadnoughts really were superior to all previous battleships. And suddenly what counted in naval arms races were not the size of a country's fleet, in which Britain was already supreme, but the number of its dreadnoughts. Other countries could now compete with Britain by building dreadnoughts. A naval arms race began between Britain and Germany, in which Britain stayed ahead only with great expense and difficulty.

There were complaints about this at the time. Admiral of the Fleet, Sir Frederick Richards, complained in Parliament that, "The whole British fleet was morally scrapped and labeled obsolete at the very moment when it was at the zenith of its efficiency and equal not to two, but practically all the other navies in the world combined."

This sounds very familiar, very strangely similar to what we have now. So national security is not always best served, and certainty is not always built, by building the best weapons we can imagine.

As a scientist, I can recognize some of the motivation for this, though probably not the whole motivation. There's a kind of technological restlessness at work, which we see from the building of the Dreadnought to this year's Nuclear Posture Review. Going back to Fisher, years before the Dreadnought was built, when he was a newly appointed captain in charge of the Royal Navy's Torpedo School, Fisher explained that, "If you are a gunnery man, you must believe and teach that the world is safe by gunnery and will only be saved by gunnery. If you are a torpedo man, you must lecture and teach the same thing about torpedoes." Well, this is not a corrupt or an unpatriotic attitude, but we don't have to be guided by it.

Prepared Statement of Dr. Steven Weinberg, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics (1979), Professor of Physics, University of Texas, Austin TX Chairman Biden, Senator Helms, and members of the Committee, I am grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to express my views on issues raised by the recent Nuclear Posture Review. My research has mostly been on elementary particle physics and cosmology, which does not give me any special credentials for commenting on strategic issues, but I worked actively on military technology in the 1960s and 1970s as a member of the JASON group of defense consultants, and less intensively in recent years as a senior advisor to this group. I have also served as a consultant to the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and have written about defense matters from time to time. Because this hearing is open to the public I have not asked to see the full classified version of the posture review, but I have read the unclassified briefing on the posture review by Assistant Secretary Crouch and the transmittal letter by Secretary Rumsfeld, as well as excerpts from the posture review that have appeared in the press. On this basis I think I can comment on the general issues surrounding the posture review, if not on the details of the review itself.

The U.S. is now in possession of an enormous nuclear arsenal, left over from the days of the cold war. We have about 6,000 operationally deployed strategic warheads today, far more than could possibly be needed for deterrence against any conceivable enemy. The Bush administration plans to reduce this number, but very slowly, to about 3,800 in 2007 and ultimately to about 1,700 to 2,200 in 2012, but this would still be far more than could be used in retaliation for any other country's use of weapons of mass destruction. Furthermore, the administration's plans call for the retention of about 7,000 intact warheads in overhaul, tactical nuclear warheads, and the "inactive reserve" stockpile and other reserves, not to mention a large number of plutonium pits and other weapon components. Taking into account the different counting rules, the rate of reduction of our nuclear arsenal proposed by the Bush administration is about half the rate that would have been called for by the START II and START III agreements. This is not liquidating the legacy of the cold war, but hanging on to it.

There was a rationale for maintaining a very large nuclear arsenal during the cold war: We had to be sure that the Soviets would be deterred from a surprise attack on the U.S. by their certainty that enough of our arsenal would survive any such attack to allow us to deliver a devastating response. I don't say that U.S. strategic requirements were actually calculated in this way, but the need for a survivable deterrent at least provided a rational argument for a large arsenal.

This rationale for a large nuclear arsenal is now obsolete. No country in the world could threaten our submarine-based deterrent, and even with an implausibly rapid missile development, for decades to come no country except Russia will be able to threaten more than a tiny fraction of our land-based deterrent.

There is, however, another possible use of a large nuclear arsenal: to launch a preemptive attack against Russian strategic weapons. I say "Russian," because the large size of our arsenal would be irrelevant for a preemptive attack against any other power. If we ever found that a hostile "rogue" state were about to deploy a few dozen nuclear- armed ICBMs, and if we could locate them, then they could be destroyed by only a tiny fraction of our nuclear arsenal, and in fact even by conventionally armed cruise missiles. On the other hand, even if we were unable to neutralize the Soviet deterrent during the cold war, now as Russian nuclear forces become increasingly immobile, with their missile launching submarines tied up at dockside and their land-based mobile ICBMs kept in fixed garrisons, our large nuclear arsenal may put Russian nuclear forces at risk to a preemptive U.S. strike.

It might seem that the ability to launch a preemptive strike against Russian strategic nuclear forces is a pretty good one to have, but in fact it poses enormous dangers, and to us as well as to Russia. The Russians can count missiles as well as we, and as "prudent" defense planners they are likely to rate our chances of a successful preemptive attack more highly than we would. The cheap and easy defense from this perceived danger will be for the Russians to keep their forces on a hair-trigger alert, posing the danger to the U.S. of a massive Russian attack by mistake. (According to Russian sources, it now takes 15 seconds for the Russians to target their ICBMs, and then 2-3 minutes to carry out the launch.) This danger is exacerbated by the gradual decay of Russian surveillance and control capabilities, which has already led them on one occasion to mistake a Norwegian research rocket for an offensive missile launched from an American submarine in the Norwegian sea. The danger will be further increased if the U.S. proceeds with a national missile defense, that might be perceived by the Russians to have some capability against a ragged Russian second strike, or if we follow the recommendation of the Nuclear Posture Review, that the U.S. should develop real-time intelligence capabilities of a sort that would allow us to target even mobile Russian missiles on the road.

Even though the threat of a large Russian mistaken attack is not acute, it is chronic. It is also the only threat we face that could destroy our country beyond our ability to recover. Compared with this threat, all other concerns about terrorism or rogue countries shrink into insignificance.

This brings me to the one real value of our large nuclear arsenal: we can trade away most of our arsenal for corresponding cuts in Russian forces. I don't mean cuts to about 2,000 deployed weapons, but as a first step to not more than a thousand nuclear weapons of all sorts, including those in various reserves, as called for by a 1997 report of the National Academy of Sciences. [A detailed proposal for the size of an adequate deterrent that I find reasonable has been given in "Toward True Security: A Nuclear Posture for the Next Decade," a joint report of the Federation of American Scientists, the National Resources Defense Council, and the Union of Concerned Scientists.] In that way, although the danger of a mistaken Russian launch would not be eliminated, the stakes would be millions or tens of millions of casualties, not hundreds of millions. It would also reduce the danger of diversion of Russian nuclear weapons or weapons material to criminals or terrorists. Instead of seeking the maximum future flexibility for both sides in strategic agreements with the Russians, we should be seeking the greatest possible irreversibility and transparency on both sides, based on binding ratified treaties. For this reason I have joined the distinguished scientists Hans Bethe, Richard Garwin, Marvin Goldberger, Kurt Gottfried, and Walter Kohn in a statement calling for an accelerating reduction of our nuclear arsenal and other steps to improve our security. With the Committee's permission, I would like to include that statement in the published text of my testimony.

Not only are we not moving fast enough in the right direction -- in some respects the Bush administration seems to be moving in just the wrong directions. One example is the abrogation of the 1972 treaty limiting anti-ballistic missile systems. [For my comments on missile defense, see "The Truth About Missile Defense," in The New York Review of Books XLIX, No. 2, 41-47 (February 14, 2002).] Another example is the resurrection of the idea of developing nuclear weapons for use, rather than for just deterrence.

For instance, the Nuclear Posture Review calls for the development of low yield earth penetrating nuclear weapons for attacks on underground facilities. There are great technical difficulties here, which might prevent our using such a weapon even if we had it. Calculations by Robert W. Nelson of Princeton University show that an earth-penetrating weapon cannot be driven down to a depth greater than about four times its length in concrete. Increasing the velocity of impact beyond a certain point just causes the weapon to crumple, so that the depth of penetration decreases rather than increases. This sets an upper limit on the depth of penetration of about 80 feet for a weapon that is twice the length of our present B61-11 earth-penetrating nuclear weapon. The actual depth that may be reached in practice may be considerably less, because the velocity of penetration must be kept low enough to preserve the weapon's electronics. Now, an 80 foot depth is sufficient to put most of the energy of the explosion into a destructive underground blast wave, but even so a 1 kiloton explosion would only destroy tunnels that are at depths considerably less than 300 feet, with the precise range sensitive to geological details that we are not likely to know. To have confidence that the underground target had been destroyed we would have to have troops on the ground anyway, so that a missile attack might not even be necessary.

Particularly worrisome are radiation effects. Experience in the series of underground nuclear explosions in Project Plowshare showed that to keep the cavity produced by the explosion below the surface, a one-kiloton explosion would have to be kept below 300 feet, with the depth for smaller yields decreasing only as the one-third power of the yield. To avoid fallout from a nuclear explosion at a depth of only 80 feet it would be necessary to reduce the yield to 19 tons, not much more than could be delivered using conventional explosives. I don't believe that there is any way for a nuclear weapon to penetrate to hundreds of feet without someone carrying it down in an elevator, so that using nuclear weapons to attack underground targets is bound to produce radioactive fallout. In any case, the penetration of a weapon through the earth would create a shaft to the surface, something that did not exist in the Plowshare tests, so the depth required to avoid fallout is bound to be even larger than indicated by these tests.

The fallout produced by a one-kiloton explosion at a depth of 80 feet would kill everyone within a radius of about half a mile. This is for still air; wind can carry the fallout for tens of miles. We could be killing not only the local population, which (as in Afghanistan) we might be trying to enlist on our side, but also whatever forces we or our allies have on the ground.

There was another sign of increased interest in developing nuclear weapons for actual use in a recent statement by William Schneider, the chairman of the Defense Science Board, announcing a renewed study of nuclear-armed missile defense interceptors. In one sense I almost find this welcome, because it confirms what critics of missile defense (including myself) have been saying, that the non-nuclear "hit-to- kill" mid-course interceptors of the planned National Missile Defense system could be defeated by decoys or other penetration aids. Of course, nuclear-armed missile defense interceptors would have technical and political problems of their own, problems that have led to the abandonment of nuclear-armed interceptors as components in missile defense since the administration of Ronald Reagan.

For the dubious advantages of such nuclear weapons, we would pay a high price. One item on the bill is the pressure for resumed testing of nuclear weapons. As I mentioned, calculations indicate that any nuclear weapon that would be effective against underground targets would release large quantities of radioactivity. Even if the depth of penetration of a nuclear weapon were somehow increased and the yield decreased enough so that no fallout was expected, how without testing these weapons in action would you ever have confidence that fallout would not escape, especially after our weapon has created its own shaft to the surface? And how would anyone have confidence in a missile defense system based on nuclear-armed interceptors without tests that involve nuclear explosions in or above the atmosphere?

The resumption of nuclear testing would be a dangerous break with the past. We have not carried out even underground tests since the previous Bush administration. Neither has Russia or China, which is very much in our interest.

The development of new nuclear weapons for war-fighting would in itself violate our commitment under the Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) to de-emphasize the role of nuclear weapons and to work toward their total elimination. The resumption of nuclear testing for this purpose would make this violation concrete and dramatic, and would thereby do terrible damage to the effectiveness of the NPT in discouraging nuclear weapons programs throughout the world.

The worst thing about programs to develop nuclear weapons for use is that they stand in the way of a massive mutual reduction of nuclear arms. In fact, I'm not sure whether massive reductions in nuclear weapons are being opposed in order for us to be able to continue such weapons programs, or whether the weapons programs are being proposed in order slow down cuts in our nuclear arsenal. Probably something of both. Back in the days when the first test ban treaty was being debated, one of the arguments against it was that it would stand in the way of Project Plowshare, the use of nuclear weapons to do things like digging canals, and Project Orion, the development of a spacecraft propelled by nuclear explosions. The development of nuclear weapons for attacking underground facilities or for missile defense may be today's Orion and Plowshare.

But the current proposals for new nuclear weapons are much more dangerous than the Plowshare or Orion programs. As the world's leader in conventional weaponry, it is very much in our interest to preserve the taboo against the use of nuclear weapons, a taboo that has grown steadily stronger since 1945. Developing and testing new nuclear weapons for actual use teaches the world a lesson that nuclear weapons are a good thing to have. This is not entirely a rational matter. I remember that once in the late 1960s I had lunch at MIT with the chief scientific adviser to the government of India. I asked about India's plans for developing and testing nuclear weapons, and he said that it all depended on whether the U.S. and USSR could reach an agreement banning all future nuclear testing. I said that that seemed irrational, because it was not the U.S. or the USSR that presented a military threat to India, and even if such a threat did develop, American and Soviet nuclear forces would in any case be so much greater than India's that it would not matter to India if the U.S. or the USSR had stopped testing or gone on testing. He answered that politics is not always based on rational calculations, that there would be great political dissension in Indian governing circles over whether to develop nuclear weapons, and that the spectacle of continued testing of nuclear weapons by the U.S. or the USSR would strengthen the hands of those in India who favored developing nuclear weapons. Is it unlikely that the same will apply to decisions about nuclear weapons in countries like Egypt, or Iran, or Japan? Is it likely that the Non-Proliferation Treaty will survive when the U.S. is developing and testing nuclear weapons for actual use?

It is sometimes argued that the future is uncertain, that we cannot tell what enemies we may face in coming years, and that therefore we should retain a maximum capability to use our nuclear arsenal in whatever way may prove necessary. [For an example, see "Rationale and Requirements for U.S. Nuclear Forces and Arms Control," Keith B. Payne, study director, National Institute for Public Policy, 2001.] It is true that the future is uncertain, but we may increase rather than decrease uncertainty by maximizing our nuclear capabilities. We cannot tell what crisis may occur in U.S.-Russian relations, which may put us at risk from a mistaken launch on their part. We cannot tell what terrorists may appropriate part of the Russian arsenal. We cannot tell what dangers we may face from a large Chinese arsenal, built to preserve their deterrent from the threat of an American first strike backed up by a missile defense system. We cannot tell what countries may be tipped toward a decision to develop nuclear weapons by new U.S. weapons programs or resumed nuclear testing. There is no certainty whatever we do -- we have to decide what are the most important dangers -- and these dangers may be increased rather than decreased by other countries' responses to our own weapons programs.

To illustrate this and close my testimony, I'd like to tell a little story, which may already be familiar to many of you. At the beginning of the twentieth century Britain was overwhelmingly the world's greatest naval power, much as the U.S. is today the world's leader in conventional arms. Then in 1905 Admiral Sir John Fisher, the First Sea Lord, pushed forward the construction of a new design for a fast battleship armed solely with 12-inch guns, the biggest guns then available. The prototype was named after one of Nelson's ships, the Dreadnought. Dreadnoughts really were superior to all previous battleships, and suddenly what counted was not the size of a country's fleet, in which Britain was supreme, but the number of its Dreadnoughts. Other countries could now compete with Britain by building Dreadnoughts, and a naval arms race began between Britain and Germany, in which Britain would stay ahead only with great expense and difficulty. Admiral of the Fleet Sir Frederick Richards complained in Parliament that "The whole British fleet was morally scrapped and labeled obsolete at the moment when it was at the zenith of its efficiency and equal not to two but practically to all the other navies of the world combined." Like Dreadnoughts, nuclear weapons can act as an equalizer between strong nations like the U.S. with great economic and conventional military power, and weaker countries or even terrorist organizations. Evidently national security is not always best served by building the best weapons.

As a scientist, I can recognize a kind of technological restlessness at work, from the building of the Dreadnought to this year's Nuclear Posture Review. Years before the Dreadnought, as a newly appointed captain in charge of the Royal Navy's torpedo school, Fisher explained that "If you are a gunnery man, you must believe and teach that the world is saved by gunnery, and will only be saved by gunnery. If you are a torpedo man, you must lecture and teach the same thing about torpedoes." There is nothing corrupt or unpatriotic about such attitudes, but we don't have to be guided by them. ______

Scientists Statement on the Moscow Summit -- May 13, 2002 President Bush, at the forthcoming Moscow Summit, has the opportunity to reduce two supreme dangers to our security and lives: the threat that nuclear weapons or weapons usable material in Russia could be stolen and sold to terrorists or hostile states and used as nuclear explosives to destroy American troops abroad or hundreds of thousands of our citizens at home; the threat of a massive attack by Russian nuclear-armed missiles due to false warning of a U.S. nuclear strike, which would put at risk the very survival of our nation. We applaud the cuts in deployed nuclear warheads that are to be agreed to by Presidents Bush and Putin at the Moscow Summit. But the pace with which the administration proposes to carry out the cuts should be accelerated. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether these cuts will be structured and implemented in a manner that would minimize the threats above.

The serious proliferation threat posed by the Russian nuclear weapons complex will only be reduced if the warheads removed from Russian launchers are placed in secure storage, dismantled and the nuclear materials rendered unusable. President Bush, however, appears to be seeking an agreement that would not compel Russia to make its undeployed warheads invulnerable to proliferation. The administration apparently wants to retain its undeployed warheads in a "responsive reserve force" that could be used to reload bombers and missiles on relatively short notice. An agreement allowing this would, of course, give Russia the freedom to also do as it pleases with its weapons.

The administration argues that the responsive force is needed to address unspecified contingencies in the indefinite future. The deployed force of roughly 2,000 U.S. strategic warheads that would remain after the proposed cuts are completed will, however, more than suffice to meet any threat that can be envisaged. It would be folly to hedge against contingencies that cannot even be foreseen, by taking a step now that would exacerbate an urgent and present danger.

To eliminate the threat of a catastrophic Russian launch resulting from its deteriorating warning system, President Bush should advocate that both states adopt postures and procedures such that their nuclear weapons could only be fired after a delay of some days, so that Russia would not maintain its forces in a launch-on-warning posture. Such a posture would not compromise the U.S. capability for retaliation as the bulk of our strategic forces would, without question, survive any attack.

The administration's position concerning strategic nuclear forces shows little regard for the obligations of the United States under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty -- obligations undertaken because of enlightened self-interest, not altruism. In the context of the Summit, these obligations call for much swifter and deeper cuts, and for a reduced reliance on nuclear weapons as instruments of national policy. The administration's proposed cuts and its intention to keep withdrawn warheads at the ready implies that this reliance is not abating. When the state with by far the most powerful conventional forces asserts that it can only protect its vital interests with an undiminished reliance on nuclear forces it is undermining the global effort to stem nuclear proliferation.

In the light of these facts and observations, we urge President Bush to propose an agreement to President Putin that would formally commit both states to: accelerate the current reductions, and to not return warheads removed from the deployed forces under this agreement to active service; a far more rapid, clearly specified and transparent process for dismantling all undeployed warheads and for rendering their nuclear materials unusable, accompanied by a commitment for increased U.S. and Allied financial support to Russia; replace their existing prompt-launch nuclear postures by postures within which retaliation to an attack would be delayed, and to adopt transparent measures to that end.

Thank you very much. Senator Lugar had to leave because he had to meet with the Secret Service about another matter, and so he asked me to apologize, but he said he will read the statement. And knowing Senator Lugar, he will read the statements. It's often said by Senators, but not often done.

Joe Biden

I would say, as we go to you, Dr. Thompson, to Dr. Weinberg, I remember when we were having a debate on the issue of the strategic stockpile and whether or not we should scrap the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which I think was a gigantic mistake. But, at any rate, that's another issue. And a former Secretary of Defense sat before us and said, "I didn't fully understand," and I think he was right. And although we may very well develop the technology to be able to, through simulation, determine the readiness and capability of the existing stockpile, that we are going to lose the young scientists who would participate in that capability being sustained, because, "They like to see things go boom," and he was very serious. He wasn't joking. That was one of his -- that was his trump-card argument as to why we needed to be able to resume nuclear testing in order to maintain the interest of young scientists -- brilliant young scientists who participate in the program. And so I thought your comment about one of the motivations of -- as a scientist is -- although you said it somewhat facetiously, I suspect there's some truth to that assertion.

Right, Senator. We should give them the opportunity for instance to do elementary particle physics in addition to their work in the Nuclear Stewardship Program.

I'd like to spend a few minutes this afternoon explaining why the findings of the review are valid and, if they are implemented, will bolster the Nation's security. But before doing so, allow me to provide some historical context. This month marks the 40th anniversary of a major development in American nuclear strategy. On May 5, 1962, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara revealed, in a secret meeting with NATO allies in Athens, that the Kennedy administration was replacing the Eisenhower strategy of massive retaliation.

The nuclear plan the new administration had inherited contained only one option, an all-out attack on every city in Russia, China, and Eastern Europe that would have killed between 360 and 425 million people. There were no provisions for withholding a strategic reserve, no provisions for preserving control over forces once a war began, and no provisions for trying to induce restraint in Soviet behavior.

McNamara thought massive retaliation was lunacy, dangerous and unbelievable. So in the spring of 1962, he approved a new war plan that focused on limiting the damage from a nuclear exchange. The new plan contained several options, including that of avoiding attacks on Russian cities with the intention of encouraging similar restraint on the part of the Soviets. Although today we remember Robert McNamara as the father of mutual assured destruction, the possibility of restraint reflected in his 1962 war plan remained national strategy for the remainder of his tenure and beyond.

Now, why do I mention these matters today? For two reasons. First of all, to demonstrate that major revisions in nuclear strategy are nothing new. And, second, to argue that the findings of the Nuclear Posture Review are fully consistent with the values and the goals of past administrations. The Nuclear Posture Review is the beginning of a long-term effort to modernize the Nation's strategy and its forces so that they remain effective in a radically transformed global security environment. But its goals are identical to those of past strategic revisions: to minimize the likelihood of massive attack on the United States and its allies, and to limit the damage if such attacks occur.

How does it do that? It begins by acknowledging the changes that have occurred in the security environment since our current nuclear posture came into being during the cold war. The Soviet Union is gone, and the nuclear forces that its democratic successors inherited are shrinking fast. In the 8 years since the Clinton administration conducted the first post Soviet nuclear review, 4,000 warheads and 800 nuclear delivery vehicles have been removed from the Russian operational force. That's about a 40 percent reduction.

The motivation of Russian leaders has changed also. Their empire, the ideology have ebbed away to be replaced by the normal concerns that any nation would have about sovereignty and security. U.S. military planners today are more concerned about Russian nuclear accidents or theft than they are about deliberate aggression.

But while the defining threat of the cold war has disappeared, new dangers have emerged. They are more diverse, and we understand them less well. These include half a dozen rogue states with programs to develop weapons of mass destruction and terrorist movements such as al-Qaeda, which may be able to secure the means of mass murder and global commerce. Some of the new aggressors are beyond the reach of traditional deterrence. Some of them are accident prone. And all of them have access to weapons options that did not occur or exist for earlier adversaries.

With the political and technological landscapes changing rapidly, the Nuclear Posture Review came to the obvious conclusion that many of the assumptions of cold war nuclear strategy may no longer be valid.

Recognizing the unpredictability of challenges, even in the near term, the review abandons the traditional threat-driven approach to nuclear planning in favor of a more flexible capabilities-based approach. Now, what does that mean? What it means is that the review identifies military capabilities necessary to cope with the widest range of hypothetical adversaries. In the words of the Quadrennial Defense Review, those capabilities include the capacity to reassure allies, to dissuade competitors, to deter potential aggressors, and to defeat actual enemies.

Because the spectrum of actors that must be influenced is very large, the required capabilities are correspondingly diverse. First, the United States must have offensive nuclear forces suitable for surviving surprise attack, and then responding in a measured way to many different contingencies. Second, it must have non-nuclear offensive forces that can hold at risk key enemy assets when a nuclear response would be disproportionate to the provocation, or counterproductive. Third, they must have active and passive defenses, including homeland defenses, to blunt the consequences of an attack on America and its allies. Not just to cope with the failure of deterrence, but also to bolster deterrence itself. Fourth, it must have a resilient command network to maintain control over all of its forces under the most trying circumstances. Fifth, it must have an intelligence system that can find and target the most elusive elements of an enemy's military capabilities. And, finally, as if all this were not enough, it must meet these requirements while facilitating the further shrinkage of the Russian nuclear arsenal, which, even today, represents the vast majority of nuclear weapons outside the United States.

The force posture derived from these requirements has been called a "triad," but it bears little resemblance to the collection of planes and missiles that made up the cold war nuclear triad. Only one of its three legs is offensive weapons. The other two legs are defensive measures and a revitalized nuclear infrastructure. Moreover, the offensive leg consists partly of conventional strike systems, with the remaining nuclear weapons representing only a small fraction of the cold war force.

And just as the Bush administration prefers to develop a tiered or multi-layered approach to missile defenses, so it proposes a tiered offensive approach consisting of three layers: operationally deployed weapons, reserve weapons that can be returned to operational duty within months or years, and inactive weapons awaiting destruction that could be refurbished.

The existence of a large reserve that acts as a hedge against unforeseen dangers enables the Nuclear Posture Review to embrace major reductions in the nuclear arsenal. As agreed to by the Russians earlier this week, the review envisions reducing the current operational force of 6,000 warheads by a third over the next 5 years, and by two thirds over the next 10 years.

Whether these reductions actually occur will depend on security trends. But recent progress in the development of precision-guided conventional munitions suggest that nuclear cuts might proceed even if threats do not diminish. For example, the Air Force is considering development of a satellite-guide glide bomb that could penetrate 60 feet of extremely hardened material, reducing the need for nuclear weapons in attacking deeply buried bunkers.

As of today, the United States actually has no plans to develop new nuclear munitions, and it is proceeding with plans to eliminate whole classes of delivery systems from nuclear service, such as the MX missile and the B-1 bomber.

The force structure recommended by the Nuclear Posture Review will materially enhance global security. First, it will preserve a stable structure of nuclear deterrence while facilitating huge reductions in the U.S. and Russian arsenals. Second, it will reduce reliance on deterrence by acquiring offensive and defensive capabilities for coping with accident- prone or irrational adversaries. Third, it will provide future Presidents with the widest possible range of options, both nuclear and non-nuclear, for meeting emergent security needs. And, finally, it will retain the flexibility to restore nuclear capabilities, if necessary, by establishing a strategic reserve and revitalizing the nuclear infrastructure. I guess I would say parenthetically that, although I hope Professor Weinberg's view of the future is valid, that, in fact, there is no conceivable reason for needing more nuclear forces than we entertained in the NPR. I think that is more an expression of faith than physics. There's simply no way of knowing what the future holds.

With regard to this latter issue, it's important to bear in mind that the end state the administration envisions for offensive nuclear forces would, on a typical day, consist of only 8 ballistic-missile submarines at sea and no more than 500 single-warhead Minuteman missiles on alert. The rest of the land-based missile force would be gone. Virtually all of the bombers would be dedicated primarily to conventional missions. And many of the 14 subs would be in port.

We may decide in the future that such a force is simply too small, so it is necessary to maintain a reserve force, especially until we rebuild our more abundant nuclear industrial base. Senator Biden, that comment you had at the beginning about losing the young scientists, it's come true. The average scientist now in this system is my age, half a century old.

For the time being, though, I think that the Bush administration has fashioned a prudent and a progressive posture that reflects a fair amount of optimism about the future of world politics.

The nuclear war plan the new administration had inherited contained only option -- an all-out attack against every major city in Russia, China and Eastern Europe that would kill between 360 and 425 million people.

There were no provisions for withholding a strategic reserve, or preserving control over forces once war began, or trying to induce restraint in Soviet behavior.

McNamara thought massive retaliation was lunacy -- dangerous and unbelievable -- so in spring of 1962 he approved a new war plan that focused on limiting the damage from a nuclear exchange.

Although today we remember Robert McNamara as the father of "mutual assured destruction," the possibility of restraint reflected in his 1962 war plan remained national strategy for the rest of his tenure, and beyond.

When President Nixon directed a revision of nuclear strategy in 1969, he added additional warfighting options aimed at controlling escalation and limiting destruction, a practice followed by every subsequent administration.

I have two reasons for mentioning these matters today -- first, to demonstrate that major revisions in nuclear strategy are nothing new; and second, to argue that the findings of the Nuclear Posture Review are fully consistent with the values and goals of past administrations. The Nuclear Posture Review is the beginning of a long-term effort to modernize the nation's nuclear strategy and forces so that they remain effective in a radically transformed global security environment.

But its goals are identical to those of past strategic revisions: to minimize the likelihood of massive attack on the United States and its allies, and to limit the damage if such attacks occur.

The motivation of Russian leaders has changed too -- their empire and ideology have ebbed away, to be replaced by the normal concerns that any nation has about sovereignty and security.
