                        NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION

  (Ms. WOOLSEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, nuclear nonproliferation must be the 
foundation of any U.S. security policy. I have introduced House 
Resolution 82 to codify this principle; but, unfortunately, a national 
missile defense system is contrary to nonproliferation.
  Mr. Speaker, the British parliament, our closest ally, has put forth 
two motions, one, to acknowledge the importance of nonproliferation, 
and the second stating that the reduction and elimination of threat is 
far wiser than investing in the double and doubtful effectiveness of a 
missile defense system.
  Mr. Speaker, we must allow our allies and we must follow our allies 
and recognize the principles of nonproliferation. I ask my colleagues 
to consider the NMDS and reconsider it as it relates to 
nonproliferation and to support H. Res. 82 that recognizes the true 
security interests of the United States by supporting total nuclear 
disarmament.
