Subject: Strengthening National Security by Allowing Deployment of Low-Yield Nuclear Weapons
Description: Turner (R-OH) amendment to the National Defense Authorization bill, which would strengthen national security by preventing the disarmament of low-yield nuclear weapons. Specifically, the amendment would ensure the Secretary of Defense may deploy "low-yield ballistic missile warheads" on submarines and other military equipment. The original bill contained a provision which was designed to eliminate these weapons by blocking funding. ACU firmly believes in President Ronald Reagan's "peace through strength" doctrine and opposes measures which weaken our country's military strength.
Result: Amendment Rejected, 201-220
