Obama offers extra $4 billion for nuke arsenal

FILE - In this file photo taken June 30, 2010, Senate Judiciary Committee member, Sen. John Kyl., R-Ariz., questions Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, on Capitol Hill in Washington during her confirmation hearing before the committee. The Obama administration is offering to add billions of dollars in funding for the U.S. nuclear stockpile in a deal that it hopes will win enough Republican support for approval of a nuclear arms control treaty with Russia. White House officials outlined the proposal to Kyl, who is seen as the key to winning enough support to ratify the New START treaty, according to a congressional aide briefed on the proposal Friday, Nov. 12, 2010. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment.
