Political Quotes

“Today marks a truly historic moment in our Nation's history. Today we raise our voices in affirmation of peace and security not just for our generation, but for generations to come. Today we embark on a voyage toward sustained peace and nuclear stability. The START II Treaty is the single most comprehensive weapons reduction measure in modern history. It will forever end the continued proliferation of our nuclear stockpile and limit the level of those weapons to a fixed and verifiable number. I can think of no greater solution to the nuclear dilemma than that which is before us today. As a matter of history, let me remind my colleagues that this treaty is a product of strong bipartisan effort spanning three administrations, both Republican and Democratic. Finally, we must remember that today's action in no way reduces our national strength or resolve. Our vigilance remains strong, and our commitment to peace even stronger. This is the dawning of a new chapter in American strategic strength and peace, and I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this historic measure.”
