Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) on Sunday said he is optimistic that the START arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia has “pretty strong bipartisan support” in the Senate and that a lame-duck vote this month will be successful.
Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Candy Crowley, Lugar said he is optimistic that his colleagues want to vote on the treaty before the Christmas recess, after a deal is reached on extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts and a continuing resolution to fund the government.
