| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The nuclear security summit process could end in 2014, a top adviser to President Barack Obama indicated last month.
In remarks at an Oct. 7 press briefing at the United Nations, Gary Samore noted that the first nuclear security summit, held in Washington in April 2010, endorsed the plan "to secure all vulnerable nuclear material around the world within four years," which Obama had announced a year earlier in a speech in Prague. "We do not intend to create a permanent institution with the nuclear security summit," said Samore, the White House coordinator for arms control and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) terrorism. |
