Priorities

Senator Warner attended British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's address to a joint meeting of Congress this morning.  

He said that Prime Minister Brown gave a "strong speech" about our two nations "working together to tackle climate change and the global economic crisis."

The Prime Minister spoke of our two nations' special relationship throughout the years and how we can rebuild our global economy by reinvesting in science, technology, and education.

"America and Britain will succeed and lead if we tap into the talents of our people, unleash the genius of our scientists and set free the drive of our entrepreneurs. We will win the race to the top if we can develop the new high value products and services and the new green technologies that the rising numbers of hard-working families across our globe will want to buy. ...

And so I say to this Congress and this country, something that runs deep in your character and is woven in your history, we conquer our fear of the future through our faith in the future."
