The national laboratories are responsible for maintaining a safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent for the United States and for other science-related functions in support of U.S. national security interests. “This week I had the opportunity to visit our nation’s nuclear weapons laboratories,” Fischer said. “These unique facilities and the exceptional employees that work there maintain the nuclear weapons that STRATCOM relies on to defend our nation. Nuclear deterrence remains the ultimate safeguard for American security and it would not be possible without the hard working men and women who make up our nuclear enterprise.” During their visit, the senators toured the nuclear weapons complex, met with leaders and scientists, expressed their gratitude to the workforce for their important contributions, and gained a better understanding of the issues and challenges associated with the senators’ responsibilities on the Strategic Forces Subcommittee. The Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces is responsible for oversight of United States nuclear and strategic forces; intelligence programs; space programs; cyber space programs; Department of Energy defense nuclear and environmental programs; and ballistic missile defense. Fischer will also visit Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California this week Photo 1, from left to right: Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, Lieutenant General (Retired) Frank Klotz; U.S. Senator Angus King; U.S. Senator Deb Fischer; Laboratory Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Charlie McMillan at Los Alamos National Laboratory | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
