H.Amdt.231 to H.R.1735. Rep. Jerrold Nadler’s (D-NY) amendment would have removed language from the NDAA that delayed for 5 years the dismantlement of nuclear warheads that were retired in 2007. Nadler explained the absurdity of the language that his amendment sought to strike: “We have about 5,000 active nuclear warheads, and 2,000 would suffice to destroy the entire world. Why waste money maintaining retired warheads beyond the 5,000 active warheads sufficient to destroy the world two and a half times over?” Failed, 178-242.
