National Defense 
   

Particularly in light of September 11, 2001, no price is too great to ensure the safety and security of our nation, our freedom, and our values. A strong national defense must be our nation's top priority.

I am fighting to strengthen our national defense with specific actions, including:

  • Supporting passage of military pay increases totaling more than 25%.
  • Authoring and passing into law an amendment to develop an effective national missle defense.
  • Equipping our military with the tools necessary to win the War on Terrorism.
  • Working to ease the burdens of Louisiana's deployed service members and their families.
  • Reforming our intelligence system.
