The deployment of a national missile defense system will violate the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty. It will spark a global nuclear arms race. It will weaken U.S. military by crowding out effective and cheaper means of defending the United States. More than 162 nations, including Russia and China, have signed on to a United Nations resolution for an international ban on weapons in space. Mr. Speaker, the United States must sign on to that U.N. resolution. The U.S. Space Command calls for expanded war fighting capabilities in outer space. The guiding words in this country ought to be ``thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven,'' not ``war be done in heaven as it is on Earth.'' Let us work for peace on Earth, not war in space.
