There is an op/ed by Sen. Richard Lugar and former Sen. Sam Nunn in today’s New York Times calling upon Congress to pass a cooperation agreement with Russia on nuclear weapons.

Help Russia Help Us By Richard Lugar and Sam Nunn IN a campaign speech this week, John McCain cited the “special responsibility” of the United States and Russia to cooperate to prevent the spread and use of nuclear weapons. There is a remarkable consensus among the presidential candidates about this imperative. But we must not wait until a new administration in 2009 to advance this vital work. An agreement the Bush administration signed with Russia earlier this month is an essential step for this cooperation. That agreement is now before Congress.
