Obama has found an important Republican ally in his effort to push for Senate ratification of the new nuclear arms treaty with Russia: Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has called for the swift ratification of the START treaty that will reduce both countries’ nuclear arsenals by about a third:

“I commend the U.S. and Russian delegations for months of dedicated effort. I look forward to the President’s submission of the new treaty, its protocols, annexes and all associated documents to the Senate for advice and consent to ratification. I also look forward to working with Chairman Kerry to begin scheduling hearings and briefings for the Foreign Relations Committee so that we can work quickly to achieve ratification of the new treaty.”
