On the recordAugust 3, 1995
The language we are going to analyze, that is in this bill, directly confronts the ABM Treaty and says it is the policy of the United States--and these are the words of the bill--no longer to abide by the ABM Treaty. It does it in a number of ways throughout this bill, but the way in which it does it first is by simply stating, in section 233, that ``It is the policy of the United States to deploy a multiple site national missile defense system.'' It goes on beyond that in section 233, but that is a very clear statement of what the intention and what the effect is, of this bill.
