It's my belief that the continued improvement of nuclear detection technology is an often overlooked component of the international non-proliferation regime.

I believe that it's critical to develop next-generation non-proliferation technology to sustain international norms.

we are seeing this erosion of trust in our society that I think has very ominous implications for the democracy that we all love, and the Republic that we cherish here in the United States.
