I'm interested in your reflections as the ranking member of the Senate committee on foreign relations. What is your response to the news that President Obama will be receiving the Nobel Peace Prize? What do you think of his efforts for nuclear disarmament and global peace? How will you support those two goals?

I think you have to deal with reality and the reality is that there are a lot of evil actors in the world today who continue to acquire nuclear capabilities and some who we think if they have them will use them. It is a great goal. It is a great aspirations but I also think it is constrained by reality and that fact that we live in a dangerous world. I think we have to be very careful we don’t get to a point where we reduce our arsenal and number of delivery vehicles where we aren’t in a position to exercise deterrent that we need to keep some of those bad actors from pulling the trigger.

It’s something to always keep an eye on. And so, I’m very concerned with the conflicting information I’ve received in the Senate bill, I’m not sure with the final version in the House bill, but the American people need to truly look at it and read it as I did, read it carefully and then look for where there is actual verification. And it’s really not difficult and that is we have drinking ages for alcohol abuse in America, 21-years-old, but there’s always verification. You have to show your driver’s license and so that’s all we’re asking that there would be verification.
