On the recordMay 21, 2014
Mr. Chairman, ``If America is going to approach adversaries with a dove of peace in one hand, we must have a sword in the other.'' That is what President Reagan wrote when he used U.S. military strength to hasten the demise of the Soviet Union. The nuclear triad is our country's most lethal sword. It makes the world safer by deterring our rivals and reassuring our allies. The commander coin of Montana's Malmstrom Air Force Base expresses why nuclear deterrence works. It says: Scaring the hell out of America's enemies since 1962. My amendment reaffirms support for the nuclear triad, the airmen, and the sailors who work this mission because there is no greater asset for peace than an unrivaled U.S. military.
