IV 109th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 950 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES July 26, 2006 Mr. Kucinich (for himself, Mr. McGovern, Mr. Stark, Ms. Norton, Ms. Woolsey, Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Conyers, Ms. Lee, Ms. Moore of Wisconsin, Mr. Hinchey, and Mr. Moran of Virginia) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International Relations 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

That the House of Representatives calls upon the President to initiate multilateral negotiations for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
