REP. ELLEN TAUSCHER PRAISES
PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA’S NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM
Washington, DC – This morning
Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher, Chairman of the House Armed Services Strategic
Forces Subcommittee released the following statement on President-elect Obama’s
new national security team:
“President-elect Obama has chosen
a strong, experienced, and patriotic national security team. From his
first day in office, President Obama will have to address the threat of
terrorism, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the proliferation of nuclear
weapons and material, and instability around the globe. He has assembled
the right team.”
“I share President-elect Obama’s
belief in a balanced and multilateral approach to national security that
operates from a position of strength, an approach that interweaves America’s
military, diplomatic and economic power. As he did last week,
President-elect Obama is moving quickly and decisively to begin the process of
rebuilding our military and our reputation around the world.”
“Among the selections announced
today, I have had the honor of working closely with Senator Hillary Clinton,
Secretary Robert Gates, and General Jim Jones. All are patriotic public
servants who understand the role the United States can play in the world.
I look forward to working with the President and each member of his new
team.”
