National Security Nuclear Non-Proliferation
The
events of September 11 galvanized our country and our allies
in a global fight against terrorism and those who would shelter,
support, and finance those who carried out these acts. These
horrific events also brought into sharp focus that the threats
of the 21st century are far different from the threats of
the last century. U.S. and international security are now
threatened by transfers of nuclear, conventional and non-conventional
materials among numerous states and non-state actors such
as terrorist organizations.
It is now more important that the U.S. be vigilant and work
with the international community to prevent nuclear prolifieration.
As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I closely
monitor U.S. relations around the world and examine legislation
regarding U.S. trade and foreign aid. I believe U.S. support
to foreign countries should reflect our priorities in the
global fight against terrorism and human rights.
