The U.S. House of Representatives yesterday voted 254-169 against a motion that would have challenged the U.S. withdrawal from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (see GSN, June 6).  The motion, introduced by Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), said the consent of Congress was needed before the United States could withdraw from the treaty (Washington Post, June 7).
