In a major address on the Senate floor today, Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) -- a long-time member ofthe Center for Security Policy's Board of Advisors and recipient of its 1994 "Keeper oftheFlame" award -- expressed his concerns about the Dayton Deal.
The approaching end of his extraordinary service on Capitol Hill was marked by two of those to whom he will be passing the torch - Senators Jeff Session of Alabama and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire - and by the presentation of a second-degree KeeperoftheFlame (which he received originally in 1994), dubbed the Oak Leaf Cluster decoration, after the military practice.
Wallop -- who received the Center for Security Policy's prestigious "Keeper oftheFlame" award in 1992 -- amplified on Mr. Smith's remarks with a keynote address highlighting the ominous implications of this treaty for U.S. economic interests, for American sovereignty and for the readiness and power projection capabilities ofthe Nation's military.
