                               RESOLUTION


 
           Calling for the abolition of all nuclear weapons.

Whereas the use of nuclear weapons threatens the future of mass publics, cities, 
        nations, civilization itself, and, indeed, all life on Earth;
Whereas nuclear weapons in the arsenal of any country undermine the security of 
        all countries, including the United States;
Whereas under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), all 
        nuclear weapons states are committed to good faith negotiations to 
        achieve nuclear disarmament;
Whereas on June 6, 2006, the Chair and Vice Chair of the National Commission on 
        Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (commonly known as the ``911 
        Commission'') cited as their number one concern for the security of the 
        United States the availability of nuclear weapons materials for an 
        attack against the American people;
Whereas the 2006 Report of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission concludes: 
        ``So long as any state has nuclear weapons, others will want them. So 
        long as any such weapons remain, there is a risk that they will one day 
        be used, by design or accident. Any such use would be catastrophic.''; 
        and
Whereas the Model Nuclear Weapons Convention, circulated by the United Nations, 
        demonstrates the feasibility of achieving the global elimination of 
        nuclear weapons: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives calls upon the 
President to initiate multilateral negotiations for the abolition of 
nuclear weapons.
