Sen. Moran's ATT Resolution Gains 34th Senate Co-Sponsor

The Arms Trade Treaty, Week Two: As the U.N. Talks, the Senate Acts, Heritage Foundation Foundry, March 26, 2013. "The most important developments over the past few days have happened in Washington, not New York. On Monday, the concurrent resolution introduced two weeks ago by Senator Jerry Moran (R–KS) and Representative Mike Kelly (R–PA) won its 34th Senate cosponsor, Senator Max Baucus (D–MT). This means that more than a third of the Senate is now committed to urging President Obama not to sign the ATT, opposing its ratification by the Senate, and rejecting any funding for or legal recognition of the ATT unless and until it passes fully through the ratification process."
