| July 9, 2006--Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) spoke with reporters after appearing on CBS News' "Face the Nation." Dodd, who is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, addressed the North Korea situation (he said that bilateral talks with North Korea would not be a bad idea, possibly as a subset of the six-party talks); the Administration's policy change on spent nuclear fuel to Russia ("could prove very worthwhile to us in the long run"); and the possibility of his colleague Sen. Joe Lieberman running as an independent if he loses the Aug. 8 primary (he declared himself "a strong supporter of Joe.") Dodd put his name into the mix as a possible presidential candidate in a May 22 David Lightman article in the Hartford Courant. |
