LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton offered assurances Friday that a new nuclear arms control treaty enables the U.S. to maintain a "strong, flexible deterrent" as she urged divided Republicans and Democrats to ratify the pact signed by President Barack Obama and Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev.

In a speech delivered in Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell's hometown, Clinton hailed the treaty signed by U.S. and Russian leaders on Thursday as the "latest chapter in a history of American nuclear responsibility" supported by presidents of both parties and strong majorities in Congress.

The nuclear arms pact now faces a ratification vote in the U.S. Senate, which is near gridlock on many issues, and the Russian legislature.

"There are times when people of good will and great intellect have diverging views on how to deal with complex issues. But I don't think this is one of those times," Clinton said in a speech at the University of Louisville.
