Dick Lugar: “Congress and the American people now must evaluate whether this course has a reasonable chance to succeed...”

I do share that problem very much.

Congress, via the power of the purse, also has the ability to prevent the administration from taking steps, such as testing and fielding new and unnecessary land-based intermediate-range missile systems.

There is really a desire for something to be out there.

I would like to recognize Senator Vitter on our side. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Louisiana.
