 Good morning and welcome to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. I'm Andrew Schwartz, Vice President for External Relations here at CSIS, and I'm joined by my colleagues who I'll introduce to you in a minute. This briefing will be available later on Facebook today. CSIS has a Facebook page, which I urge all of you to visit. It's also available in video and audio and transcript on csis.org. And with that, we'll get started. Also for you iTunes users, this will be on the Beyond Campus section of iTunes University. My colleagues, Andrew Cuchins, Sharon Squisoni, and Janusz Pogajski, are some of the top experts in the world with this region. And they've got a lot to say about various things that are associated with this visit. In addition, you'll find before you an example of our critical questions. And this is Sharon Squisoni's critical questions on the Nuclear Security Summit. This will also be at CSIS.org. With that, I'd like to introduce my colleague, Dr. Andrew Cuchins, who directs our Russia program. Thanks very much, Andrew. It's a great pleasure to be here. And thanks for joining us this morning for our briefing. And I promise I won't talk about my personal over-under on Tiger Woods' performance in the Masters coming up this week. Now, the Start 1 Replacement Treaty, which is going to be signed in Prague on Thursday, I want to be aware of overselling the importance of this agreement. But it is really significant for the U.S.-Russia relationship, the so-called reset in the U.S.-Russia relationship, and also President Obama's ambitious goals for nuclear security and further reductions in nuclear weapons. I don't want to oversell it, but a long journey begins with the first step. And if you didn't have this first step, then pretty much both of those agendas would be severely, severely hampered. And it was extremely important that this agreement be reached before the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in May, as well as, of course, the Nuclear Summit coming up here in Washington next week, which I'm sure my colleague Sharon will talk more about. You know, about a month ago, it's also this, the agreement is also important for President Obama's political capital, both domestically and more so internationally. You know, when he was first elected, my sense was that this guy had a chance to be either one of the greatest presidents in American history because of the circumstances or an unsuccessful one-term president. And about a month ago, it was looking more like the former than the latter. And with the combination of the healthcare bill passing and the Start 1 Replacement Treaty, he's looking considerably more successful on this political capital. Again, not only important here at home, but it's also extremely important for him abroad and how he's viewed by other international leaders. Now for the U.S.-Russia relationship, which I'll talk about mostly in my few minutes, for the reset, there have been three key issues on security relations that have been driving the Obama administration's desire to improve relations with Moscow. The first and most important has been Iran and the urgency of their nuclear weapons program. The second has been Afghanistan, and the much larger bet that the Obama administration has placed, or higher priority,
