STATEMENT OF SENATOR KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON ON PRESIDENT BUSH'S
DECISION ON THE ANTI-BALLISTIC MISSILE TREATY

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- "President Bush did the right thing for America and our national defense – and he did it at the right time. The Cold War is over. The Soviet Union no longer exists and America is under attack. Our technological advancements are hampered by the ABM treaty's restrictions and the President's decision allows us to move forward to protect America."
