Peter Visclosky: “I appreciate the chairman for yielding and join with him in…”

On the recordJuly 14, 2011

I appreciate the chairman for yielding and join with him in opposition. I think he has stated the case very well. I would also add the expenditures in this legislation on nonproliferation. I think one of the greatest threats our country faces is the issue of nuclear terrorism. Again, we have to be very thoughtful. The chairman has had to make some very serious and profound choices. I think he has done an excellent job doing so, and we ought to stop where we are. I am opposed to the woman's amendment.
