[lojban] How to reduce the amount of something?

[chris kerr <letsclimbhigher@gmail.com>]

Someone on IRC asked for a lojban translation of:

Resolved: The United States Federal Government should substantially reduce the size of its nuclear weapons arsenal, and/or substantially reduce and restrict the role and/or missions of its nuclear weapons arsenal.

I came up with:  .i xusra lo du'u ma'a nitcu lo nu lo mergu'e ga jdika lo ni ri ratske xarci ku gi jitro lo zu'o pilno lo ra ratske xarci

But there is something not right with using {ni} to talk about reducing the number of nuclear weapons.  The closest we were able to get was:

.i xusra lo du'u ma'a nitcu lo nu lo mergu'e ga jdika tu'a lo ri ratske xarci gi jitro lo zu'o pilno lo ra ratske xarci

Is there a better way?
