On the recordJune 6, 2000
In the first place, the law of the land is still intact until the Senate and, indeed, the House are in conference and the President signs this bill. At the moment, the law of the land precludes him from doing that. What I am trying to offer is a relevant course of action whereby the next President has the opportunity to address this situation in the context of a fresh QDR and a fresh up-to-date analysis of all the strategic threats, what the other nations possess, and the like. That is effectively what I am trying to do.
