him to the bill S. 4638, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year
2025 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military
construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy,
to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for
other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

At the end of subtitle B of title XV, insert the following:

SEC. 1526. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE USE OF NUCLEAR
WEAPONS IN SPACE.

It is the sense of Congress that the United States should
treat the act of detonating a nuclear weapon in space as no
less dangerous or destabilizing than the detonation of such a
weapon on land, in the atmosphere, underground, or under the
sea, and that the response of the United States should be
commensurate with such an act.
