VP Joe Biden: Resume
Served in the U.S.. Senate (D-DE) from January 3, 1973 – January 15, 2009 Much of the focus during Biden's early career was on arms control. During the Reagan administration, he argued for strict adherence to the 1972 anti-ballistic missile treaty with Russia, which President Reagan's aides sought to loosely interpret, to make way for a space-based missile defense program As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, he has presided over more than 50 hearings since January 2007 Chairman of the International Narcotics Control Caucus from January 4, 2007 – January 3, 2009 He served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on European affairs He was among the first to advocate lifting the arms embargo on the Bosnian Muslims and supporting them with NATO air power, a policy known as "lift and strike." This policy became the basis of a new policy that was eventually followed by a successful NATO peacekeeping effort. |
