Video release on Test Ban Treaty

TEST ANXIETY: SHOULD AMERICA RATIFY THE TEST BAN TREATY? A video and
related resources from America's Defense Monitor

In May of 1998, India shocked the world with a nuclear blast. Pakistan,
it's neighbor, responded days later with a nuclear test of its own. A new
arms race had begun. Many are working hard to see this arms race stopped
and future ones prevented through a treaty that would ban nuclear testing.
But at the moment this treaty is being held up in Congress by a minority
of senators who don't trust the test ban's capability to stop the spread
of nuclear weapons. This, despite the fact that a majority of senators and
the public support a ban on nuclear testing. Can this small minority of
senators be persuaded to allow a vote on the treaty before another nuclear
explosion stuns the world?
