Fischer Remains in Leadership Role on SASC Strategic Forces

摘要

The Senate Armed Services strategic forces committee will retain some of its nuclear backbone in the 117th Congresswith Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), who has a major nuclear constituency in the form of the Triad’s land-based leg, retainingher leadership role.That’s less nuclear leadership than the panel, which writes policy for nuclear forces and the National Nuclear SecurityAdministration’s (NNSA) nuclear-weapons complex, might have had, if former ranking member Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) had remained on the Armed Services Committee after Democrats won control of the Senate in November’s generalelection.
