This report reviews the three mechanisms used by the US to reduce its nuclear weapons: formal bilateral treaties, reciprocal but informal understandings, and unilateral adjustments to its force posture. It also looks at the role of nuclear arms control in the US-Soviet relationship and describes the role of Congress in the arms control process. Finally, the report describes issues that Congress may address as the Obama Administration uses these mechanisms to reduce nuclear weapons.
