Statement By Secretary Of State
Madeleine K. Albright
SECRETARY ALBRIGHT: I congratulate
the Russian people on the Duma's decisive ratification of
the START II Treaty. This is a big step forward. We look
forward to intensifying our discussions on next steps in our
arms control dialogue and other issues when Foreign Minister
Ivanov comes to Washington later this month.
This vote is
indeed an historic step which will help improve security for
all of
us.
