<br class="">
Dear Ms. Aram,<br class="">
<br class="">
Thank you for contacting me regarding nuclear weapons and the recently proposed treaty to ban the use or possession of all nuclear weapons by the United Nations (U.N.) I appreciate hearing from constituents in my district and the time you took to share your
 thoughts.<br class="">
<br class="">
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is the first legally binding international agreement with the goal of eventually eliminating all nuclear weapons from the world. It first passed the United Nations on July 7 of this year but will require signatures
 from at least 50 countries in the U.N. in order to be officially ratified. <br class="">
<br class="">
One of my top priorities is ensuring our national security in an increasingly destabilized world. I believe that in providing for this security, a strong military demands the wisdom of when to use nuclear weapons. A strong nuclear deterrent remains necessary
 as long as violent, unpredictable nations such as Iran and North Korea also have access to nuclear weapons.
<br class="">
<br class="">
In addition, nearly 20 percent of America's electricity was provided by nuclear power in 2016. Nuclear power provides our country with an extremely valuable source of energy that produces virtually no emissions. If we do away with nuclear weapons, we could
 fall behind on valuable research and development relating to nuclear power. Nuclear power plants across our nation provide energy as well as thousands of well-paying jobs, including those at the Clinton nuclear power plant in my district. I understand you
 support the United States signing this treaty and I will keep your thoughts in mind moving forward if this particular issue comes before the United States Congress as legislation.
<br class="">
<br class="">
Again, thank you for contacting me and let me know if my office can be of assistance to you in the future. In addition, if you would like to stay informed on what is happening in Washington, DC and around the 13th District, please sign up to receive my e-newsletter
 by visiting <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frodneydavis.house.gov%2Fcontact%2Fnewsletter&data=02%7C01%7C%7C1abb267f04a54d0ff07908d56fcfffe6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636537861524751814&sdata=DgSQk%2BpRgwB4voeyD%2FG7FEtxFcXiy2ANZ%2BPOYPL%2Fygg%3D&reserved=0" class="">
