A concurrent resolution concerning the establishment of a South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone.

(Measure passed House, amended)

Declares that the Congress finds that: (1) the Treaty of Rarotonga which establishes a South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone is consistent with the Security Treaty Between Australia, New Zealand, and the United States (the ANZUS Treaty) and with U.S. security commitments in the South Pacific; (2) the Treaty of Rarotonga satisfies the criteria established by the United States for judging the effectiveness of proposed nuclear-weapon-free zones; and (3) signature and ratification of the protocols to such Treaty would be in the national interest of the United States.

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President should seriously consider the United States signing and ratifying the protocols to the Treaty of Rarotonga.
