The Obama Administration will ask the US Congress for a hike in budgetary allocation for securing and maintaining the country's nuclear stockpile.
US President Barack Obama, when submits his budgetary proposal to the Congress, will ask for $7 billion for maintaining nuclear-weapons stockpile and related efforts.
This is $600 million more than Congress approved last year.
Over the next five years, the Administration intends to boost funding for these important activities by over $5 billion, US Vice President Joe Biden said in an op-ed published in 'The Wall Street Journal'.
"This investment is long overdue. It will strengthen our ability to recruit, train and retain the skilled people we need to maintain our nuclear capabilities. It will support the work of our nuclear labs, a national treasure that we must and will sustain," Biden argued
