SA 2696. Mr. THUNE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 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. ______
