On the recordJune 26, 1996
My guess is, if a majority of Congress voted that way, it would send a message to the President. This, in any event, is a restriction that does not exist under current law. Today, the President can simply say, ``I am going to test because France tested.'' I just ask my friend from Michigan, is it not better to have some way for Congress to express itself in opposition, and if we adopt the resolution of disapproval, it does not happen, as opposed to the existing situation of which we have no ability to say to the President, ``No, you can't do it''?
