"This budget would cut programs that reduce the threat of nuclear terrorism while significantly increasing funding for nuclear weapons."

"Too many threats remain to cut these funds so sharply."

"The cost estimate was once $1.8 billion; it is now $8 billion."

"I hope you will provide an explanation today of the budget tradeoffs you made and why the trend in cutting nonproliferation funding to pay for weapons activities does not concern you."
