We have an unusually important hearing today on the threat of nuclear missiles and other weapons of mass destruction, the threat to the United States of America. And we have an extraordinarily distinguished panel of witnesses here, including two former Directors of the Central Intelligence Agency. About a year ago, the United States Intelligence Community published a National Intelligence Estimate entitled "Emerging Missile Threats to North America During the Next Fifteen Years." And that report was used as the basis for some in the Administration to defer a missile defense system in our country. The conclusions were controversial and subject to disagreement, and among those who were in disagreement, some contended that there was politicization in the report, and that there was a political motivation for the conclusions of the report. The Director of Central Intelligence, Dr. Deutch, commissioned a panel, independent experts, to study the report and to give an evaluation of it. The controversies on the missile defense problem have been with us for a very, very long period of time. After the antiballistic missile treaty in 1972, it has been a subject of controversy over the intervening two decades. In the late 1980´s, a lot of controversy over the narrow versus the broad interpretation of the anti-ballistic missile treaty as to what our nuclear defenses should be. With the demise of the Soviet Union, there is a lessening, perhaps a lessening of the threat from the Soviet Union, but always a threat from other countries - Iraq, Iran, other rogue countries - so that the issue of nuclear defence is one which is always very, very hotly debated.
