GRAPEVINE, Page 9Read My Lips: No Test Ban
By JANICE CASTRO
Now that the Soviet Union has collapsed, many Americans
believe it is time for the U.S. to join its former enemy in a
NUCLEAR TESTING moratorium. The Administration opposes a ban.
Bill Clinton has made it an election issue, but the fight is
only beginning. The House and more than half the Senate support
the one-year test ban written into the 1993 defense
authorization bill. President Bush may veto the bill to kill the
ban. Four more nuclear tests are planned this year, and six
next. The Administration insists that testing is needed to
ensure the safety and reliability of the U.S. arsenal. But at
least three upcoming blasts are designed primarily to test the
effects on Star Wars equipment that would be powered by nuclear
explosions.
