Claiborne Pell

Mr. President, the resumption of violence in Liberia is of great concern to me. A factional standoff over an ousted government minister has led to widespread looting, arson, and murder, plunging the country into a state of chaos. This spasm of violence is the first major interruption of the Abuja Accords, which have held peace together in Liberia since last August.

Claiborne Pell

The deterioration of Liberia is disheartening. Since 1989, the civil war has caused the deaths of more than 150,000 people and has displaced more than 800,000. Thousands of children have been conscripted to the armed forces. The resumption of violence threatens the lives of even more Liberians. The potential of a massive humanitarian disaster is high, as supplies of food and water dwindle, sanitary conditions deteriorate, and outbreaks of cholera erupt.

Claiborne Pell

Mr. President, The United States has a special responsibility toward Liberia. Founded in the early 19th century by freed slaves, the United States and Liberia have had almost 150 years of uninterrupted friendship. In World War II, the airfields and ports of Liberia were a key part of the link to supply the battlefields in North Africa and Europe. During the cold war, the people of Liberia were at many times the only reliable ally of the United States in Africa. Liberia served as a "listening post" and headquarters to the United States intelligence services. At the United Nations, Liberia consistently voted for the United States position even when this position was unpopular with other developing nations.

In addition, I would like to add that I have a special interest in this war-devastated country as so many emigrants from Liberia have settled in Rhode Island. Just this morning, a delegation of approximately 400 Liberian-Americans who live in my State participated in an impressive demonstration of their eagerness for peace to be restored to this tragically war-torn country.

These Rhode Islanders, led by longtime community leader Lady Bush, marched several miles into downtown Providence where they demonstrated in front of the Federal Courthouse Building and met with members of my staff and the staff of my colleague, Senator Chafee.

The demonstrators presented a petition, entitled "Plea for an Immediate End To the Human Carnage in Liberia." It urges active U.S. Government efforts to end the fighting and places the blame for the latest outbreak of terror and fighting squarely on the assorted warlords whose forces control various portions of the capital and the country.

Claiborne Pell

Mr. President, it is understandable that the international community is hesitant about investing anything more in Liberia. It is up to the faction leaders who constituted the last Council of State and who control the rival forces to stop the looting and killing and to rebuild a sense of national unity. The rival warlords must demonstrate that they are ready for peace. The people of Liberia should not have to endure any more violence. If the United States pulls out of Liberia, it will certainly put the last nail in the coffin for this poor, African nation. Moreover, if the situation in Liberia continues to unravel, the regional implications will be of monumental proportions.

I believe the United States must have an immediate response to this crisis. As a result, I am cosponsor of the resolution introduced this afternoon by my distinguished colleague from Wisconsin, Senator Feingold. Among others, this resolution urges the administration to support West African peacekeepers, to influence other nations to support the peacekeeping force, and to lead efforts in the United Nations to sanction those parties which violate the U.N. arms embargo on Liberia.

I would like to add that it is imperative that the international community, at its highest levels, make public their views on the atrocities in Liberia. The international community, moreover, must actively engage with ECOMOG and ECOWAS, to find a lasting solution. And most importantly, I call upon the competing warlords to stop the pillaging of Liberia. There has already been too much bloodshed, too much hope lost.

Mr. President, I rise today to call attention to the single greatest security threat to Americans in the post-cold war ERA -- the possibility that weapons of mass destruction could be acquired by rogue states, criminal organizations, or terrorists, and used against American targets.

President Clinton has placed nuclear nonproliferation at the top of the U.S. national security agenda -- he is clearly committed and willing to lead on this issue. Vice President Gore's regular meetings with Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin also have advanced nuclear security. Indeed, in the last 3 years we have seen important agreements and cooperative projects between U.S. officials and their counterparts in Russia and other Republics of the former Soviet Union.

Despite these positive steps, however, the threat before us remains immense, and the path to nuclear security remains long and difficult. We need to understand the potential magnitude of the threat, and muster the resolve and resources to address it effectively.

Over 100,000 weapons or weapons equivalent material remain strewn -- literally strewn -- about Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Belarus. The centralized system that prevented the possible theft or diversion of this immense quantity of fissile material during the cold war no longer exists.

I should also note that each year as more nuclear warheads are dismantled, additional tons of weapons-grade material move from relatively more secure military facilities to less secure nuclear storage facilities. The 3,000 warheads that are dismantled each year yield 15 tons of plutonium and 45 tons of highly-enriched uranium.

It takes only 25 kilograms of highly enriched uranium or 8 kilograms of plutonium to create a weapon capable of massive destruction. We are talking about an amount of uranium the size of a softball -- or a baseball in the case of plutonium. That small amount of material could be easily concealed and transported in a sturdy briefcase or a backpack.

Joe Biden

As my colleagues know, the greatest barrier to overcome in manufacturing a nuclear weapon is acquiring the appropriate grade and quantity of fissile material. After that, it just takes a little time, money, and technical know-how.

Joe Biden

A determined terrorist or rogue state does not even need to build a perfectly designed atomic bomb with the highest grade fissile material to create unimaginable terror. A weapon built of crude, low-grade nuclear material such as a nuclear radiological device would be sufficient to generate widespread panic.

Joe Biden

This is not just doomsday rhetoric. Does anyone actually deny that there exists a great demand today for nuclear material? Those who are not yet convinced need only consider the chilling incidents that have occurred over the last few years. As my colleagues are well aware, gram and kilogram quantities of weapons-grade uranium -- almost surely leaked from the former Soviet Union -- have been seized in Moscow, Munich, and Prague. In addition, dismantled parts of Soviet nuclear missiles have made their way to Iraq.

We know that the demand exists. We also know that the supply exists. Elementary economics tells us that without intervention, a supply curve and a demand curve will intersect -- and you will have a transaction. It is incumbent upon us to intervene and prevent even one of these potentially deadly transactions from occurring.

First, the collapse of the Soviet command and control security system has been replaced by chaos and the absence of many controls at sites where nuclear materials are stored. In the context of Russia's current tumultuous social and economic conditions, we are talking about an environment conducive to theft and extortion.

Second, the Soviet Union had no comprehensive accounting system for nuclear weapons and fissile material -- certainly no computerized inventory. In other words, we -- including the Russians -- do not even know exactly where all of the Soviet Nuclear material is stored or how much of it exists. We think most nuclear material is located in 80 to 100 sites. But there may be another 40 sites. We think the Soviet Union produced some 1,200 metric tons of highly enriched uranium and some 200 metric tons of plutonium. Needless to say, it would be difficult to determine if a few kilograms of this material were misplaced here and there.

Third, the lack of physical protection of nuclear material in the former Soviet Union is shocking. Nuclear material is stored in containers without seals to prevent tampering. Many of the labs, research centers, and power plants with nuclear material do not have perimeter fences, electronic sensors, or monitoring cameras to deter and detect intruders. Instead, U.S. officials have seen nuclear rods stored in metal lockers secured with padlocks. According to the Russian Government, 80 percent of its nuclear facilities -- 80 percent -- do not have radiation detectors to prevent those on the inside from walking out the door with nuclear material.

Fourth, there are nuclear technicians and guards at these facilities who have not been paid in months. I have heard that the senior staff of one nuclear facility abandon their posts a few hours a day to tend to their potato gardens, so that they will have food to eat. It seems to me that these conditions are so ripe for corruption that the threat of an inside job is much greater than the threat of an outside thief entering a nuclear facility -- as easy as that may be.

Fifth, current border controls throughout the former Soviet Union are notoriously weak. If smuggled nuclear material passes through Europe, we have some chance that intelligence officials and law enforcement can interdict it. However, trafficking routes through the Caucasus or Central Asia are another story -- the chances of successful interdiction are slim to none.

Finally, we have the problem of the thousands of nuclear scientists and technicians in the former Soviet Union with knowledge about nuclear weapons who are looking for ways to make a living in the new world order. Their expertise would certainly be welcome in some aspiring nuclear states that immediately come to mind.

I commend my distinguished colleagues Senator Nunn and Senator Lugar for bringing attention to global proliferation threats through Senator Nunn's recent hearings of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and Senator Lugar's hearings last august on the issue of Loose Nukes. I might add that Senator Lugar's hearings are the only hearings that have been held on this critical issue in the Foreign Relations Committee in the 104th Congress.

In 1991, my colleagues Senators Nunn and Lugar had the foresight to devise the cooperative threat reduction program to assist the states of the former Soviet Union in dismantling nuclear warheads and protecting nuclear materials. Over the last 5 years funding for the Nunn-Lugar program has totaled $1.5 billion -- an average of $300 million per year, or about one-tenth of 1 percent of our annual defense budget. In addition, this year's funding level was cut 25 percent from last year's level.

In contrast, consider how much time, money, and energy we have spent on the proposed missile defense system to meet the improbable long- range ballistic missile threat, which we are told is at least 15 years away. We have spent some $35 billion over the years on missile defenses. I find it hard to believe that this disparity in spending corresponds to the threats we face.

As I have repeatedly stated on this floor, a long-range ballistic missile will not be the most likely means of delivery of a weapon of mass destruction to the United States. No. A much more likely scenario is that a terrorist group will smuggle material and parts for a nuclear, chemical, or biological device onto our shores -- perhaps by any of the many routes used by narcotics traffickers -- and then reconstruct a weapon of mass destruction, put it in a van, and detonate it in near an important American landmark.

The danger of uncontrolled nuclear material is a first level national security threat to the United States of America and a first level national security threat to our friends and allies. We cannot simply ignore the problem and leave if for Russia to solve on her own. Likewise, Russia cannot simply downplay the potential threat and delay implementing concrete measures. Indeed, Russia itself is a target -- just last November Chechen separatists placed radioactive material in a Moscow park.

The critical first step must be to improve the physical protection of nuclear material at the source -- secure the material at a limited number of sites and institute a comprehensive accounting system. That, in my opinion, is the most important agenda item for the leaders of the G-7 and Russia at the nuclear summit.

Joe Biden

World leaders at the summit will also discuss ways to improve cooperation in countering nuclear material smuggling. Given the limited success we have had in interdicting narcotics traffickers, I am not optimistic about the prospects of interdiction alone to prevent the proliferation of nuclear material. Nonetheless, much more can and should be done to improve border controls and intelligence cooperation.

Joe Biden

Mr. President, it is my hope that the nuclear safety and security summit in Moscow this week will help propel the world's leaders to take immediate preventative and rational steps toward nuclear security. The alternative is to delay action until after our first nuclear terrorist incident -- whether in a Moscow park, a Tokyo subway, or a New York office building.

Mr. President, no other nation can match the expertise and resources of the United States. We must be the leader in promoting cooperative efforts to reduce the nuclear threat. Investments we make in this area today will reap a future return in the form of enhanced security for all Americans.
