| Message | Absolutely the hell no. The NBC treaty is among the most important pieces of legislation ever passed by this Parliament... I will resist efforts to abrogate that agreement forever. Nuclear Biological and Chemical weaponry are unacceptable possessions of civilized nations, and we should be working for eradication world wide. I staunchly oppose this effort. |
