Bob Corker actually said...

"The 'gold standard,' where nations forswear domestic ENR capabilities, was finalized under this administration with the completion of the civil nuclear cooperation agreement with the United Arab Emira..."

"Their acceptance of enrichment and reprocessing, E&R, capabilities in some but not all new agreements with countries where no such capability currently exists is inconsistent and confusing."

"Why would we not in every single case begin with a strong definition of what our gold standard is?"

"The absence of a consistent policy weakens our nuclear nonproliferation efforts, and sends a mixed message to those nations we seek to prevent from gaining or enhancing such capability."
