 As the Senate considered the CTBT in 1999, six former secretaries of defense wrote a letter opposing the treaty’s ratification, arguing that confidence in the U.S. nuclear stockpile would decline without testing or a mature Stockpile Stewardship program. Last week, the National Academies concluded that the U.S. is now better able to maintain its stockpile and does not need to test.
