                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Urging the President to negotiate a comprehensive nuclear weapons test 
                                  ban.

Whereas the United States has sought to limit nuclear testing through the 1963 
        Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapon Tests in the Atmosphere, in Outer Space 
        and Under Water, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons 
        of 1968, the Threshold Test Ban Treaty of 1974, and the Peaceful Nuclear 
        Explosions Treaty of 1976;
Whereas a multilateral, comprehensive ban on nuclear weapons testing would help 
        protect individual health and the environment, and enhance efforts to 
        halt the proliferation of nuclear weapons;
Whereas both France and the Russian Federation have voluntarily suspended their 
        underground nuclear testing programs;
Whereas the United States has joined France and the Russian Federation in 
        suspending nuclear testing to enable a full review of United States 
        underground nuclear testing policy and to promote negotiations to end 
        nuclear testing worldwide; and
Whereas, since the beginning of the nuclear age, United States presidents have 
        supported and sought to negotiate a comprehensive nuclear weapons test 
        ban: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress urges the President to initiate, at the earliest possible 
time, multilateral negotiations toward a comprehensive nuclear weapons 
test ban.
    Sec. 2. The Secretary of the Senate shall transmit a copy of this 
concurrent resolution to the President.

                                 <all>
