phillip, you've already mentioned the nunn/luger program. gloria was a lead in negotiating in three countries that were part of the countries in the former soviet union to give up their nuclear weapons. ukraine, belarus and kazakhstan. not many knew about it, but it was huge. bill perry, secretary of defense, did a wonderful job on that. so there are good things going on. we've done some things. we now have a stronger iea, though not nearly strong enough. we have a u.n. resolution 1540 that requires every nation to take care of their nuclear material. so we have a lot going on. one they think that people don't know about, and i always think -- in this grim subject, we need to have a little bit of encouragement. one of the things that gloria and her team helped negotiate, we hope with the help of the nunn/luger program, ukrainians didn't want to give up their weapons without giving some economic benefit, and highly enriched uranium is worth money. you can convert it into nuclear

senators grassley hatch and luger were co-sponsors as was then senator majority leader bob dole. and countless other republicans have endorsed the mandate in recent years. in 2009 senator grassly did. in 2007 senator demint did. senators graham, alexander and corker have all endorsed an individual mandate. they were cosponsors of the wide and bennett the americans health that included an individual mandate. what we're seeing now is baffling. republicans have gone from being the main champion of the individual mandate to being its main antagonist. you have to ask why. the republicans were fathers of the individual mandate. mow suddenly they want to give it up for adoption on the steps of the u.s. supreme court. the flip-flop on the individual mandate is the prime example of their willingness to oppose anything this president proposes simply because he proposed it. because it was their idea. and of course, there is the issue of mitt romney who passed romney care in massachusetts which is based on exactly the same model health care law we passed two years ago. there's no question th

so senator nunn, i know that the programs that you and senator luger put into place have played a major role in trying to secure vulnerable materials around the world. >> i might say that was a brilliant insight and piece of legislation that senators nunn and lugar. >> it was, indeed. >> senator nunn, why don't you talk a little bit about how you see the threat of nuclear terrorism. what exactly is the threat of nuclear terrorism? >> well, i consider it the most dangerous threat we face because a nuclear terrorist group, if they got the bomb or the material to make a bomb, some of them are suicidal, but they wouldn't have a return address. it's very hard. our whole principle in the cold war was to deter a country knowing we would know if they shoot missiles at us where it came from and therefore, they have a return address and suffer retaliation. terrorist groups don't have that. some of them would like nothing more than basically cause conflict even to escalate between countries based on perceived terrorist attacks and attribution of a particular country. so what you have here is the i

nunn/luger program, ukrainians didn't want to give up their weapons without giving some economic benefit, and highly enriched uranium is worth money. you can convert it into nuclear fuel, you burn it in nuclear powerpoints. the deal made in the 1990s, we would work with russia to get the weapons back from those countries in russia. they would blend down the uranium into low enriched uraniums, we would buy it over 20 years. we're still in the middle of that program, 15 years into it. and right now, 20% of our electricity in america comes from nuclear power. 50% of that material that we burn today in america's nuclear power plants comes from highly enriched europe yum aimed in the form of bombs at us in the cold war. so by definition, 10% of america's electricity represent in the biblical phrase, swords that have been turned into fire shafts. so we have worked with russia, other countries. and countries do have a mutual stake. the other encouraging thing is, and president obama deserves some credit for this one. two years ago, he had a summit conference on nuclear material in washington, d
