ADVISORY/Experts Available To Discuss U.S. Withdrawal from Missile Treaty.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 2001 TOPIC: President Bush is expected to announce that the United States will withdraw from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in the next several days, according to an article by The Associated Press. The treaty, which prohibits testing missile defense systems, requires the United States and Russia to provide notice six months prior to withdrawing from the pact. Bush hopes to develop an anti-missile system to protect against nations that would fire missiles against the United States and its allies, the article says. However, Russia and other U.S. allies fear U.S. withdrawal from the treaty may spark a nuclear arms race. Other experts criticize that developing such a system may be costly and ineffective.
