                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Concerning the negotiation of limitations on nuclear weapons testing.

Whereas, on January 25, 1994, the United States joined with thirty-seven other 
        nations to begin negotiations for a comprehensive treaty to ban 
        permanently all nuclear weapons testing;
Whereas, on March 14, 1994, the President decided to extend the current United 
        States nuclear testing moratorium at least through September 1995;
Whereas the United States is seeking to extend indefinitely the Non-
        Proliferation Treaty at the April 1995 NPT Extension Conference;
Whereas conclusion of a comprehensive test ban treaty would contribute toward 
        successful negotiations to extend the Non-Proliferation Treaty; and
Whereas, agreements to eliminate nuclear testing and control the spread of 
        nuclear weapons would contribute to the national security of the United 
        States, its allies, and other nations around the world: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) applauds the President for maintaining the United 
        States nuclear testing moratorium and for taking a leadership 
        role toward negotiation of a comprehensive test ban treaty;
            (2) encourages all nuclear powers to refrain from 
        conducting nuclear explosions, prior to conclusion of a 
        comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty; and
            (3) urges the Conference on Disarmament to make all 
        possible progress toward a comprehensive test ban treaty by the 
        end of 1994.

                                 <all>
