On the recordMarch 2, 1995
in the opening words of a major foreign policy address last evening, President Clinton said that ``we live in a moment of hope.'' Mr. President, I concur with that sentiment. With the demise of the cold war, with the nascent friendship between the United States and Russia, and with the emergence of democratic trends across the globe, the world is experiencing a realignment in the fundamental relationship between states. It is, as the President suggests, a time of extraordinary opportunity for the United States. I commend President Clinton for his rejection of an inward-looking course, and endorse his ambitious call to support international peacekeeping, to reduce the nuclear threat by extending indefinitely the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and implementing other arms control agreements, and to be an aggressive player in the global economy. The present circumstances call to mind the watershed period after World War II.
