State Letter Reveals Plan for U.S. Legal Commitment to Unratified Nuclear Treaty

The plan was outlined in a letter from the State Department to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.), who is challenging the administration's effort to lock in American adherence to the signed but unratified Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, or CTBT.
