"The administration strongly opposes section 1234, which would prohibit the use of certain [Defense] Department funds from being used to provide the Russian Federation with notifications as required by the New START Treaty," OMB said in a statement.
Although the US ceased notifications under the New START in June, the NDAA measure would unduly constrain the ability of the US to reverse the action, the statement said.
The US continues to send ballistic missile launch and major strategic exercise notifications, pursuant to older agreements that remain in force, the statement said.
The Biden administration broadly supports passage of the NDAA by Congress, the statement added.
The US House of Representatives may begin consideration of the $886 billion bill later this week, according to House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
