“I support the Army's decision to expedite destruction of our Nation's chemical weapons stockpile in a safe and cost efficient manner. As the Senators from Indiana and Maryland know, the Army planned to reprogram existing funds this year to accelerate destruction at Aberdeen and Newport, and I would have support such a request. However, I would ask my colleagues to refrain from offering their amendment, and want to assure them that I will support funding for the accelerated destruction of chemical agents stored at Newport and Aberdeen in conference when the opportunity arises.”
