Expected Secretary of Energy Nominee Steven Chu Should Improve U.S. security
December 15.....The Friends Committee on National Legislation, the oldest registered religious lobby in Washington, congratulates Steven Chu on his nomination to be the next Secretary of Energy. We look forward to working with Secretary-designate Chu to change U.S. nuclear weapons, energy, and environmental policies.
Our Quaker lobby strongly encourages the Secretary-designate to work for new U.S. policies that will increase human security, address climate change, and make progress toward ending the danger of nuclear war.
