underground nuclear weapons tests.
(3) The United States, France, Russia, and Great Britain
have observed a moratorium on nuclear testing since 1992.

result in the disintegration of the current testing moratorium
and a renewal of underground testing by other nuclear weapon
states.
[[Page 109 STAT. 677]]
(5) A resumption of nuclear testing by the Republic of
France raises serious environmental and health concerns.
(6) The United Nations Conference on Disarmament presently
is meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, for the purpose of
negotiating a Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT),
which would halt permanently the practice of conducting nuclear
test explosions.
(7) Continued underground weapons testing by the Republic of
France and the People's Republic of China undermines the efforts
of the international community to conclude a CTBT by 1996, a
goal endorsed by 175 nations, at the recently completed NPT
Extension and Review Conference (the conference for the
extension and review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty).
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the
Republic of France and the People's Republic of China should abide by
the current international moratorium on nuclear test explosions and
refrain from conducting underground nuclear tests in advance of a
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
Sec. 8117. (a) Limitation on Transfer of Defense Articles and

or humanitarian assistance operation.
