This initiative sets out a concrete path to a global ban on anti-personnel landmines and is one of my top arms control priorities.

The most important of these Protocols is the amended Mines Protocol.

I transmit herewith the Biennial Report on Hazardous Materials Transportation for Calendar Years 1994-1995 of the Department of Transportation.

We have to be vigilant about this.
