Frank Lautenberg: “I think the States will keep acting.”

I am concerned that with our budget difficulties we will continue to see declining budgets for Defense Nuclear Non-Proliferation activities in favor of Weapons Activities.

We must continue to be thorough in this investigation and analysis to ensure that this risk is eliminated.

Some will say now isn't the time to make public investments. Some will say we can't afford it.

We simply can't afford to ignore the lessons from past accidents and crashes.
