Summary of Bill HRES 1079

Bill 118 HRES 1079, titled "Expressing support for the continued value of arms control agreements and condemning the Russian Federation's purported suspension of its participation in the New START Treaty," is a resolution introduced in the US Congress. The resolution aims to show support for arms control agreements and denounce Russia's alleged suspension of its involvement in the New START Treaty.

The New START Treaty is a nuclear arms reduction agreement between the United States and Russia that limits the number of deployed strategic nuclear warheads and delivery systems.

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.
