| Message | The VNP supports the spirit of disarmarment, but believes that it must be done in stages. The wholesale explusion of our nuclear, chemical and biological weapons system would not only leave us vulnerable to our enemies, but would create opportunities for independent terrorist agents and rogue states to aquire such weapons before we can destroy them all. |
