shift in our approach, but we still have a lot more work to do to fully secure all nuclear and radiologicalaterial, civilian and military so it can no longer pose a risk to any of our citizens. i believe this is essential to the security of the entire world, and given the catastrophic consequences, we can't not be complacent. one of our first goals was ukraine's decision to remove all of its highly enriched uranium from their sites. and had that not happened, the difficult situation in ukraine today would involve yet another concern. so the more of this material we can secure the safer all of our countries can be. we have made progress. we have more to do. we're going to continue our work, and i look forward to hosting the fourth nuclear summit in the united states in two years. so thank you again for this outstanding summit. >> thank you, mr. president. we'll go straight to the questions now. and the first question is julie [ inaudible ] associate press. >> reporter: thank you, mr. president. you have been criticized during this dispute with russia as not understanding president putin's mo

countries follow regulations and peer review for securities arrangements, a new initiative on radiologicalrces announced. so there's quite a number of major steps taken at this summit. >summit. >> ifill: what happens to the material handed over? if it's dangerous there, why isn't it dangerous here? >> it's material add to large stole piles that already exist in the united states and already require very serious security and then the sides have agreed the high-rich uranium will be blended down to lower-enriched urinums and used for the standard fuel for nuclear power plants and the plutonium will be added to whatever measure we eventually manage to figure out for our own stocks of excess plutonium. >> ifill: fewer nations have this kind of material than maybe five or ten years ago, but which nations still have it that you wore rabbet the most? >> well, i would argue, and we argued in a report we just put out from harvard university a few days ago that pretty much every one of the dozens of countries where this material still exists has more to do to make sure that it is secure. there are ab

to do to fulfill the ambitious goals we set four years ago, to fully secure all nuclear and rad radiological material so it can no longer pose a risk to any of our citizens. i believe this is essential to the security of the entire world, and given the catastrophic consequences of even a single attack, we cannot be complacent. i'll close by reminding everyone that one of the achievements of our first summit in 2010 was ukraine's decision to remove all its highly enriched uranium from its nuclear fuel sites. had that not happened, those dangerous nuclear materials would still be there now, and the difficult situation we're dealing with in ukraine today would involve yet another level of concern, so it's a vivid reminder that the more of this material we can secure, the safer all of our countries will be. we've made progress, we've got more to do, we're going to continue our work, and i look forward to hosting the fourth nuclear security summit in the united states in two years, so thank you again, mark, and all your team, as well as the people of the netherlands, for this outstanding summit.

improve the security of materials that can be used to make nuclear weapons and the security of radiological sources that terrorists could use to make dirty bombs. the commitment of the nsa became more complete. the fear that the dirty bomb would cause doesn't bear thinking about, not to mention the possible disruption to society. i'm specially pleased that we are including this area. furthermore, the nss countries have encouraged implementation of the iaa nuclear security guidelines. a significant number of us have decided to take this commitment even further. as chair of the summit, i'm delighted to announce that two thirds of the countries on the initiative of the united states, korea and the netherlands, have pledged to incorporate these important recommendations into the national legislation. this is a message and represents potential progress. i can't stress enough how important it is. fortunately, in a group of countries supporting this initiative is growing. our ultimate goal is, of course, for all nss countries to follow this league and set an example for other countries. he many pl

premature, and a reduction in securing the city's funding could leave new york city without the radiological and nuclear detection capabilities it needs. with that said, i commend the president for his efforts to put americans back to work while making investments that will support our infrastructure. the opportunity, growth and security initiative, if implemented, would provide $400 million for prehazard mitigation assistance. with natural disasters becoming more frequent, severe and costly, these funds would be a worthy investment in our resiliency in infrastructure. lastly, every day the best and brightest come to america to study and work. and then due to our broken immigration system, return home to compete against us in a global market. this makes no sense. businesses, security professionals and labor all agree that every day, without comprehensive immigration reform is a missed opportunity. i hope that the house will take up hr-15, nearly identical to the senate bill that passed with bipartisan support. and that when you come before us next year, we will discuss how the president's fy
