WASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Trent Lott, raising the stakes in a face-off with the White House, predicted on Tuesday that the Senate would reject a global treaty banning nuclear weapons tests and urged President Bill Clinton to stop pressing for swift ratification. Although the treaty is set for a vote on Tuesday, Lott said many senators worried that it would be difficult to verify treaty provisions relating to underground testing, the spread of nuclear weapons technology and stockpiles of armaments. I think it is unwise for the administration to have pushed for this treaty as they have when the timing is not right and when its very dangerous for the future of our children and our grandchildren, Lott said. They, in effect, have forced this vote, the Mississippi Republican said. Now, theyre going to have to make a decision to go forward and have the vote occur. And if the vote occurs, I hope and I believe the treaty will be defeated.
