Statement of Former Senator Sam Nunn
Co-Chairman of the Nuclear Threat Initiative
on President Obama Receiving the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize
I congratulate President Obama and his entire team on winning the Nobel Peace Prize. He has changed the tone of U.S. foreign policy by making it clear to the world that we are in a race between cooperation and catastrophe, and he has reshaped the global focus and debate.
This prestigious recognition and honor will enlarge the President's platform to lead the world toward actions that ultimately make his vision possible, including his vision of a world free of nuclear weapons.
