U.S. Under Secretary（副国务卿，副部长） for Arms Control and International Security（军备控制和国际安全） Ellen Tauscher expressed confidence that despite（尽管） deep partisan divisions（党派分歧） in Congress, the Senate（参议院） would pass the successor（接替的人或事物; 继承人，继任者） to the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty（《削减战略武器条约》）, although she gave no timeframe（框架）. "We do have a polarized（使分化为不同的看法） atmosphere in Washington, but I think that on issues of national security, we have always found that we can find a very broad consensus（共识） of Democrats and Republicans that will work together to advance those issues. I expect on this issue we will find that same sweet spot." Tauscher spoke at a conference in Paris gathering former diplomats（外交官） and arms negotiators and aimed at pushing for global nuclear disarmament（解除武装，裁军; 缴械）. U.S. and Russian negotiators resumed（继续） talks in Geneva（日内瓦） this week aimed to wrap up（注意力完全集中于…） a new nuclear disarmament treaty（条约） to replace START, which expired in December.
