     SEC. 1526. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE USE OF NUCLEAR 
                   WEAPONS IN SPACE.

       It is the sense of Congress that the United States should 
     treat the act of detonating a nuclear weapon in space as no 
     less dangerous or destabilizing than the detonation of such a 
     weapon on land, in the atmosphere, underground, or under the 
     sea, and that the response of the United States should be 
     commensurate with such an act.
                                 ______
