It is with great pleasure that we welcome Warren Christopher to our committee today as the nominee to be Secretary of State. I know Mr. Christopher to be a singularly intelligent, wise, honorable, and talented man. My own view is that our Nation is lucky to have a person of his caliber willing to serve at this critical position. We welcome you here, and I think first I would ask my colleagues to introduce you. [The prepared statement of Chairman Pell follows:] Prepared Statement of Chairman Pell It is with great pleasure that I welcome Warren Christopher to the Committee today as President-elect Clinton´s nominee to be Secretary of State. Mr. Christopher served with distinction as Deputy Secretary of State from 1977-81, and we look forward to obtaining his views about a world that has changed greatly since he was last in government. In many ways, we find ourselves in a situation similar to the one that existed in 1945. In the wake of a catastrophic world war, the old order had collapsed and new institutions and ways of thinking had to be devised. Now, after a Cold War lasting more than four decades, we face the task of devising or revising mechanisms to deal with new circumstances. In particular, we have an opportunity to reclaim the dream of the U.N. as an effective agent for world peace. We must also think in new ways about the dangers and challenges of today, which are different from those of the Cold War. Our top priority must be dealing with the results of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. These include the implementation of arms control agreements to ensure that only Russia is a nuclear weapons state and to reduce drastically the number of nuclear weapons. Second, we must do what we can to ensure the success of democracy in Russia, the other countries of the former Soviet Union, and the other countries of the old Soviet bloc. This will require leadership and resources. But, I can think of no more critical expenditure on behalf of our national security.
