I just want to join in strong support of the privileged resolution that is offered by the gentlewoman from Hawaii [Mrs. Mink] and also to say that the dignity and integrity of who we invite, who speaks from that well says volumes about what is important to us as Americans. Americans have gone on record of not advocating the proliferation of nuclear testing, and yet the President of France has negated that altogether, although France itself has signed that treaty. So I implore all of my Members and colleagues that this will say volumes about our integrity when we sign a treaty that we would honor that and certainly we should not give the well to someone who violated the treaty.
