^ 
have observed a moratorium on nuclear testing since 1992.

109 STAT. 677

lic of France and the People's Republic of China undermines

pleted NPT Extension and Review Conference (the conference 
for the extension and review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
Treaty). 
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate that
