INTRODUCED BY _________________________________________________
By Request of the ****
A resolution of the House of representatives of the state of montana to limit the production and first use of nuclear weapons.
WHEREAS, the use of even a small number of nuclear weapons could have catastrophic human, environmental, health, and economic consequences globally; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of representatives OF THE STATE OF MONTANA:
That as an important first step the members of this House of Representatives call on the President of the United States to make it the policy of the United States that it will not start a nuclear war and will therefore not use nuclear weapons first, and call on the United States Congress to pass legislation supporting this policy.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the members of this House of Representatives call on the United States Congress to not fund the development and production of additional nuclear weapons that can produce a relatively small nuclear explosion, making them suitable for rogue nuclear war fighting and potentially lowering the threshold to using nuclear weapons first.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives send a copy of this resolution to the President and Vice President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Majority Leader of the United States Senate, and to each senator and representative in the United States Congress.
