NORTON INTRODUCES NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT BILL

Washington, D.C---Today Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.D.C.) introduced a bill [H.R. 827] that would require the United States to disable and dismantle its nuclear weapons and to refrain from replacing them with weapons of mass destruction once foreign countries possessing nuclear weapons enact and execute similar requirements.

The Congresswoman's bill, the Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act, she said, "is especialiy relevant today with the Clinton Administration's push to expand the number of countries that are members of NATO." She continued: "My bill is consistent with current U.S. policy and moves us to the next logical level by redirecting resources to essential domestic needs."
