| Message | We oppose this move. We are committed to continued research in the technologies in order to help us to protect ourselves should another nation use such weapons against us. But it is beyond our understanding why we would ever use such weapons, and as such there is no reason to own them. |

| Message | We don't see the two as being equitable. Nuclear deterrence has a specific value, but biological and chemical warfare are far more uncertain. |
