I rise for the third straight year during consideration of the Defense authorization legislation to address the issue of nuclear weapons testing. Today, the international community is negotiating earnestly a complete cessation of all nuclear weapons testing through the Conference on Disarmament. With the strong support and active leadership of the Clinton administration, a comprehensive test ban treaty is close at hand. In his message to the opening session of the Conference on Disarmament in January, President Clinton stated, ``* * * the U.S. delegation will join you in making bold steps toward a world made safer through the negotiation at the earliest possible time of a comprehensive test ban treaty that will strengthen the security of all nations.'' The international community and the Clinton administration are fully engaged on the issue of nuclear weapons testing.
