Of particular concern is the fact that Mrs. [HAZEL] O'Leary's glasnost campaign has made public precise information concerning the quantities and whereabouts of U.S. plutonium and highly enriched uranium stocks. At the same time, her Department has significantly reduced the budget available for securing and protecting those sites. The Center for Security Policy has been informed that one reason for these cuts has been the Clinton Administration's diversion of scarce resources from U.S. programs to fund the Cooperative Threat Reduction initiative (frequently called the Nunn-Lugar program).(4) In this manner, she has effectively invited attacks on these facilities and left them significantly able to thwart such attacks -- with potentially ominous implications for the local communities and/or for the effort to staunch the proliferation of radiological, atomic or thermonuclear weapons. --- "Fiddling While the Nation's Nuclear Weapons Complex 'Burns' Down: O'Leary's Last Denuclearization Shot? ,"Center for Security Policy, Decision Brief No. 96-D 120, 1996-11-29 http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/index.jsp?section=papers&code=96-D_120.
