Three U S negotiators told a House Armed Services panel that backing for arms control must harmonize with military force structure and security policy. Beverly Byron urged policies that support modernization, readiness and mobility while noting past policy conflicts and treaty erosion. Ambassadors Lowitz and Blackwill described modest gains at the Conference on Disarmament and MFBR talks, citing procedural limits, data discrepancies, and verification disputes between East and West.
