PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA AND SUPPORT FOR NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT

That this House welcomes the support for nuclear disarmament initiatives and the strengthening of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty made by President-elect Obama in his successful campaign for the United States presidency; notes that he affirmed the `long-term goal of achieving a world free of all nuclear weapons', echoing the personal commitment made by former US President Ronald Reagan and former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in their nuclear disarmament summit in Reykjavik in 1986; further notes that, as a Senator, Barack Obama also co-sponsored with Republican Senator Dick Lugar in 2007 a resolution in the US Senate to control nuclear explosive materials with the goal of `entirely securing all nuclear material in vulnerable sites within four years'; further notes that Mr Obama said in August 2007, during the Presidential campaign, he would, if elected, make it his `priority to build bipartisan consensus behind ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty'; and believes the Government should work constructively with President Obama to achieve these excellent global security goals.
