we've just had a scientist back at los alamos, from north korea, who was astonished at the level of the sophistication of what they're doing with nuclear weapon capability in north korea, and i think as a nation, to be able to defend ourselves, we need to make sure we don't give anything away in the treaty with russia that would limit our ability to defend ourselves against others. >> ifill: so what you are saying is not so different from what you were saying a couple months ago as far -- are you speaking for your party and saying there is no chance no matter what colin powell has to say or james baker or henry kissinger has to say or madeleine albright? is there any chance this is going to happen while this congress is in session? >> the american people deserve a full daebtd on the senate floor of the start treaty. if senator reid chooses to bring that treaty to the floor -- and he could have done that over the last many months. he's chosen not to do that. if he brings that to the senate floor and we have a full opportunity to debate it, then there will be a vote, and if they get their

we had siegfried hechter of stanford university, the form of the national lab at los alamos who was onsterday, and he was here and had access to previously restricted areas as did jack pritchard of the economic institute who was a clinton high-ranking expert. and so richardson's delegation is the third one here in the last few week, and the north koreans want to use this as an opportunity to send their message to him and to the rest of the world, and that is presumably what is going to happen today, tomorrow, and sunday. and we get ready to leave, and go become the beijing monday. >> wolf, you talked to governor about whether or not he had the blessing of the obama administration. what is the thought about this mission going as a u.s. citizen, a civilian and not as a diplomat? does he have the approval of the president? is he delivering a message from the president or is he simply going as a private citizen? >> he is simply going as a private citizen. he obviously consulted with the obama administration. they didn't tell him not to go, and as they did on an earlier occasion, six months

biggest drivers are two new buildings, facilities that have to be built, one for plutonium work at los alamos lab in new mexico, the other for uranium work at the so-called y-12 plant at oak ridge, tennessee. those two buildings alone could end up costing over $10 billion. and as a result, as i said, we went to the administration and said we appreciate this modernization plan, but you need to update the plan and incorporate a lot of new costs, and we showed them a lot of areas in which there were deficiencies, including deferred maintenance that had to be performed. we pointed out there is a a $1 billion unfunded pension liability that would have to be dealt with in -- in order for these -- for the scientists to continue to work. and i -- i won't go into the quotations here. vice president biden acknowledged the same thing in a statement that he made. i appreciate the fact that, by the way, they complimented our work and our staff for pointing out a lot of these things which were the basis then for the administration coming back and doing an update to the 1251 plan which at least incorporated
