This is for speech and debate:
Whereas: The United States renounced the use of biological weapons in 1973
Whereas: The US Army estimated that one thousand kilograms of sarin nerve gas aerosolized over an urban area on a clear, calm night would kill 3,000-8,000 people.
Whereras: One tenth of the amount of anthrax would be likely to result in the death of 1 to 3 million people, a toll of 200-600 times that in New York.
Whereas: The US maintains what is far and away the largest biological weapons defense program in the world.
Whereas: Even the greatest experts disagree on which specific activities are offensive and which can be classified as defensive. And the laxity of this interpretation has given rise to potential misunderstandings and opened doors to would-be biological weapons developers.
Let it be resolved by this student congress: That the United States Department of Defense will disarm and eliminate all biological weapons and stocks of biological agents.
