That's an excellent question, Senator Kerry.

We have had some funding and construction problems at the two sites in Pueblo, CO, and Bluegrass, KY.

I want to work with you to expand and institutionalize these nonproliferation tools.

I believe that these actions will send a message that the international community will no longer tolerate proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

we have to leave Iraq better than it was and we have to leave it in a way that is stabilized

We need a constant, deliberate effort to contain and reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world.

You have my promise, Senator, that we will do a thorough review of the obligations that we have.

It is vitally important, first and foremost, that we protect those items.

The balance will always favor national security, but we also need to create good-paying American jobs.

we are in a world where we cannot put down the past because the past has not gone away.

I strongly support the UAE 123 Agreement, Senator, and I urge its support here in the Senate.

We do not want the politics of this to take over. We want this to be based on legitimate security interests.
