 Testimony Before the Senate Armed Services Committee: Fiscal Year 2002 National Defense Authorization Budget Request
Secretary, I asked you if you agreed with General Kadish's assessment that if you adopted and implemented the recommendations on missile defense from the missile defense strategy review that he has just completed, that those recommendations would not lead to a violation of the ABM Treaty in Fiscal Year 2002.
Secretary, in the years when I was privileged to be chairman, and we were endeavoring -- in a bipartisan way, I might say -- to try and address readiness in particular -- and this is not to be construed as a political observation -- but simply we turned to the chiefs.
Secretary -- you cannot comment, nor should you, on higher figures that you have requested -- but clearly, if the chiefs were correct last year -- and I'll pass this question momentarily to the general -- there is a shortfall.

 NTI: Issue Brief: Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT)
The United States, which led the effort to conclude a CTBT and was the first to sign the treaty is, along with China, among those who have signed but not ratified.
India, which at the time was a non-nuclear weapon state, argued that the treaty should include a specific commitment by the nuclear weapon states to eliminate their nuclear weapons in a negotiated finite span of time, and made its support of the draft treaty contingent on such a commitment.
The United States is one of the remaining 13 states whose ratification is necessary for the CTBT to enter into force.

 Lecture 11 - UN Reform from the Standpoint of the United States
A perplexing question to most non-Americans is how the United Nations, which was essentially a creation of the vision and leadership of the United States as World War II came to an end and in which American influence and direction today are unrivaled, should now be treated with such disdain.
At the outset, the United States government viewed the United Nations as a most useful instrument in the pursuit of its national interests, which it saw as coinciding with a genuine world community (in the words of the Charter, "a center for harmonizing the actions of nations").
To those committed to the UN idea, the string of UN conferences "from Rio to Istanbul" dealing with the environment, human rights, population, social development, women, and cities (Habitat II), is the logical forward movement for the United Nations in fulfillment of the UN Charter's lofty goals in the social and economic field.

 Boston.com / News / Nation / Washington / Senate Democrats coordinate message, attack on Bush
WASHINGTON -- Senate Democrats yesterday unveiled plans to push for expanded healthcare and education programs, higher troop levels, and better benefits for veterans, as they use a retooled and coordinated communications strategy to push their priorities and gird for fierce fights against major initiatives on President Bush's agenda.
This week, they are holding up the nomination of Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state, even though she is expected to win easy confirmation, to keep the focus on questionable decisions made by the Bush administration in pursuing the war in Iraq.
Reid said Senate Democrats do not consider Bush's victory over Senator John F. Kerry to have been a statement in support of Bush's policies, and will continue to fight for their own values.

 Senate OKs reimporting drugs from Canada to help seniors - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Senate voted yesterday to allow pharmacists in the United States to reimport prescription drugs from Canada where they are sold for less, in an attempt to cut drug prices for American seniors.
The Democratic proposal was added to the Senate's Medicare prescription-drug bill, by a vote of 62-28, with 20 Republicans voting for it, and three Democrats voting against it.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist — who voted against the proposal — said a reimportation law is already on the books, but was never implemented because two previous secretaries of health and human services could not certify reimportation would be safe or save money.
