...before the Senate on Tuesday, count 64 votes so far, three short of the 67 that would send the measure to the states for ratification. The only senators whose votes are in doubt, according to vote counters on both sides of the issue, are Democrats Sam Nunn of Georgia, Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan of North Dakota, Wendell Ford of Kentucky and John Breaux of Louisiana...
...Ridge nuclear-storage facility in Tennessee. Over the next several months, the Energy Department will entertain offers from private industry to turn the highly enriched uranium into lower- grade commercial reactor fuel. The Administration touted the mission as a good reason to keep money flowing to the beleaguered Nunn-Lugar account. The fund -- named for sponsors Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia and Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana -- is a congressional appropriation that finances denuclearization in the states of the former Soviet Union.

To have Joe sing that L.A. has changed a lot "since those brave gold rush pioneers/ Came in their creaky covered wagons" is ridiculous. L.A. barely existed...
Jonassaint went around the room consulting the Cabinet. The defense and information ministers objected to the deal. Nevertheless, Jonassaint said, "I will sign. I will not let my people experience this tragedy. Our back is against the wall." Said Nunn: "We were in one heck of a fix because President Clinton had told us that we could not get the signature of president Jonassaint, whom we didn't recognize. Cedras said it was a court-martial offense for him to sign for the government because he wasn't the government." Nunn turned to Carter. "We can't do this unless...
