H. RES. 77 – “Embracing the goals and provisions of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons” – was introduced last month by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA). The bill calls on the Biden Administration to …
• Make nuclear disarmament the centerpiece of the national security policy of the United States
• Renounce the option of using nuclear weapons first
• End the President’s sole authority to launch a nuclear attack
• Take the nuclear weapons of the United States off hair-trigger alert
• Cancel the plan to replace the nuclear arsenal of the United States with modernized, enhanced weapons.
