That means if a missile comes over, we can't knock the missile down so we have to rely on our ability to have a nuclear deterrent in our stockpile that works. And all the experts have said they don't work now. We can't tell for sure whether they work now. We have stood on the floor of this Senate with a chart that shows, on all nine of the nuclear weapons, as to whether or not they are working today. We do not really know because we haven't tested in 7 years.
Testing is necessary.
We don't know whether or not that nuclear deterrent works. Last, I would say I wasn't real sure what the minority leader was talking about when he talked about article 18 of the Vienna Convention. A State is obliged to refrain from arguments which would defeat the object and purpose of a treaty when it has signed the treaty or has exchanged instruments constituting the treaty subject to ratification, acceptance or approval, until it shall have made its intentions clear not to become a party to the treaty. That is what this is all about. We are the Senate that is going to reject this treaty.
