I feel very good at this stage in the degree of commitment and sense of urgency that I've seen from the world leaders so far on this issue.
The central focus of this nuclear summit is the fact that the single biggest threat to U.S. security, both short term, medium term and long term, would be the possibility of a terrorist organization obtaining a nuclear weapon.
If there was ever a detonation in New York City, or London, or Johannesburg, the ramifications economically, politically and from a security perspective would be devastating, and we know that organizations like al-Qaeda are in the process of trying to secure a nuclear weapon, a weapon of mass destruction that they have no compunction at using.
Unfortunately, we have a situation in which there is a lot of loose nuclear material around the world, and so the central focus for this summit is getting the international community on the path in which we are locking down that nuclear material in a very specific time frame with a specific work plan, and one of the things that I'm very pleased about is that countries have embraced this goal and they’re coming to this summit, not just talking about general statements of support but rather very specific approaches to how we can solve this profound international problem.
