U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for verification and compliance, Rose Gottemoeller said she expected tough negotiations to renew an arms reduction treaty before the expiration date of December 5. "I will underscore that this is a difficult task, but it is a doable task and so we need to keep our eye on the prize over the next six months and we need to work carefully," Gottemoeller told a conference organized by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "If things aren't going well, you cannot rush to the finish to get something done," said Gottemoeller, who was confirmed in her new post on Monday and will lead the U.S. negotiating team in talks on nuclear arsenals with Russia. "We will do what we have to do to get this negotiation done but ... if necessary we will look for ways to find more time for the negotiators and so just bear that in mind," she added. Last week President Barack Obama and Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev pledged after talks in London to replace a 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START I), which led to the biggest ever bilateral cuts in nuclear weapons. The proposed arms deal would go beyond a 2002 Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty (SORT), which committed both sides to cutting arsenals to between 1,700 and 2,200 warheads by 2012. TALKS TO START SOON Gottemoeller said she spoke to her Russian counterpart on Monday and the two were sorting out dates to start the negotiations soon. "So we are on the road," she said. She said Obama's instructions were not to "replay" START I. "In areas where we need to plow new ground, we will." Russia's ambassador to the United States, Sergei Kislyak, declined to get into the nitty-gritty of negotiations but said: "Is it going to be easy? No. There are a lot of things we need to learn from our American friends." Among difficult issues to be negotiated will be differences over the way warheads are counted and whether warheads removed from missiles should be stored or destroyed. Moscow also wants to link the successor treaty to the proposed U.S. missile shield plan, which it strongly opposes. Gottemoeller said missile defense would certainly be a topic for talks but she anticipated this would be part of a broad-ranging discussion on strategic issues "that will proceed on a separate track." She reiterated that Washington's plans for a missile shield in the Czech Republic and Poland depended on whether the program was deemed cost-effective, efficient and if a nuclear threat was still posed by Iran.
