It in no way diminishes, as as i said the task of counter proliferation, of preventing acquisition of technology. I look forward to addressing any concerns or questions you have about these two central roles in my bureau. Or any other topic. Thank you thank you again for this opportunity. Thank you very much. Thank you chairman corker, Ranking Member, and Ranking Members of the committee. It is a great honor to testify before this committee and to have the opportunity to discuss the role of the department of energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration play, and will continue to play in support of the u. S. Governments actions to implement the jcp oa. As my colleagues from the state department have already stated, the jcp oa ensures that Irans Nuclear program is exclusively peaceful. It provides unprecedented verification measures, it constrains Irans Nuclear program and a manner that gives us ample time to respond if iran chooses to violate its terms and it takes, of our op
Not than any other country. I really want to understand again a little bit more clearly your assessment of pakistans progress in cooperating with the International Community on Nuclear Proliferation concerns. And also, the second part of that question has to do with recent media reports suggesting that our administration is considering some kind of Nuclear Arrangement with pakistan. Im not really clear what is a Nuclear Arrangement. And if we are considering, is pakistan really a trustworthy partner, again, in that . Again, like other members, the Nuclear Proliferation concerns are very troubling. Thank you, congressman. And we share your concern about the scope and pace of Pakistans Nuclear program. We do have an active dialogue on nonproliferation issues. We have a security has pakistan increased the rate of the production of Tactical Nuclear weapons .

Mcgovern was talking about, it would be a very difficult issue we should properly make sure that this country knew we were not going to find. Come back through the congress, too, and i think we do the right thing. The appropriators have another foreign account mrs. Granger has the ability to withhold match up and i think instead of an official Going Forward and holding these governments accountable on their own, i think it should come from the people who gave the money.
