For the reason I gave you a few moments ago, this would be a very unsettling decision for Congress to make now that we are on the verge of achieving that test ban. My good friend from Arizona said a majority of Congress could vote to disapprove the resolution. I want to clarify, this is a joint resolution of disapproval, I believe, that is in the language, and that means the President could veto it, and any President who submitted such a resolution would presumably veto it, so it would, indeed, as a practical matter, take two-thirds of Congress to overturn such a resolution; would my friend agree with that?
