The Senator repeatedly says he presumes. I am not here to act on presumptions. What I do know is the realities, and particularly the political realities that face this Nation of an election and a new President. In my opinion, it is the wiser course of action to defer such decisions as this until the next President is in office; he has his quadrennial review; he has his detailed study of our strategic arsenal. Then those decisions.
