Bob Corker: “I don't think there is anything, as it relates to nuclear issues, that threatens our national security more than our not…”

On the recordDecember 21, 2010
I don't think there is anything, as it relates to nuclear issues, that threatens our national security more than our not investing in the arsenal we have. Candidly, the only thing today that would keep us from actually doing modernization the way it needs to be done would be Republican appropriators. I do not think we would be talking about the issue of modernization today...if it were not for discussions of the START treaty. I think we have enhanced our country's national security just by having this debate, and I would say we have sought and received commitments that otherwise we would not have received if it were not for the discussion of this treaty.
