It's a very good point. Because those nations that depend upon us, who have not developed nuclear weapons, who believe that they are part of our nuclear umbrella, that they believe that we extend, in cooperative understanding, our deterrents for their benefit. If that deterrence is removed, then, of course, there is the prospect that these additional nations will feel the need to develop their own weapons.
The speaker discusses the implications of removing nuclear deterrence for allied nations.

The House has passed these provisions several times, all of which I have voted for-- I think the Senate does need to move these provisions.
Obviously if that occurred, that would be very serious, and I agree that that would be an illegal act.
I certainly hope the Senate moves it this week, and we can put it on the president's desk this week.
