Bi-partisan commitees in Congress (with the make up of the bodies there are more Dems than Republicans) who hve said we need better technology, more tests, better BMDS systems and his own chair of the Senate Homeland Security committee wants us to stop destroying weapons as per our agreement with Russia.
