On the recordJanuary 31, 1994
I hope it will finally be implemented. Mr. President, I am pleased that the Senate is considering today the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 1994. This bill is a cooperative effort dating back to the last Congress. Following passage of the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act in the last Congress, the Senators from Ohio and North Carolina, Mr. Glenn and Mr. Helms, and I realized that some serious updating of existing legislation setting forth sanctions for nuclear misbehavior was recognized. The Glenn and Symington amendments which had proved to be critically important deterrents to nuclear proliferation needed to be both broadened and toughened to reflect the continuing need to rely upon the application of sanctions and the threat of application of sanctions deter potential miscreants.
