- Minister of Defense Rudolf Scharping, FRG DoD News Briefing - Tuesday, November 24, 1998 --
Q: Minister Scharping, might I ask, you seemed a bit embarrassed yesterday when this issue broke about the no first use of nuclear weapons. Both you and the Secretary have said that the German government has no intention of questioning the core policy of NATO over nuclear weapons.
- TRANSCRIPT: U.S., GERMAN DEFENSE OFFICIALS ON NATO NUCLEAR POLICY USIA 24 November 1998 -- The United States opposes any change in NATO's existing nuclear policy, U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen says, because the alliance's nuclear forces continue "to fulfill an essential role by ensuring uncertainty in the mind of any aggressor about the nature of the allies' response to military aggression."
