Overall, Bill 118 HRES 1079 underscores the significance of arms control agreements in preventing nuclear conflict and calls for the US to reaffirm its commitment to these agreements. It also urges Russia to reconsider its decision to suspend its participation in the New START Treaty and to work towards maintaining global peace and security.
