On the recordOctober 16, 2001
Pakistan has not been the same kind of democracy as the United States. The military of that country has pretty well controlled its nuclear armaments and forces, rather than being under civilian control. That is the way it is in Pakistan, and I know it to be important for the United States to know where the Pakistani military is coming from. As long as they have great relations with the United States... I would think the United States would have great concern about who is controlling the nuclear weapons in Pakistan. That is another very important reason to support what the Senator is talking about right now.
