I would like to use that 1 minute to compliment the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Hoeffel) for his amendment and the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Everett), because we clearly have a meeting of the minds here that there should be an ongoing accounting of what is going on in the area of dismantling of these weapons in the former Soviet Union. The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Hoeffel) I think has put his finger on a very real defect that exists in the current system. By ensuring that there will be an accounting scheme that is put into place, I think that we are going to be able to much more quickly advance the goal of nuclear nonproliferation. I thank the gentleman for making his very important amendment.
