(AP) – 8 hours agoWASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will lead a delegation and deliver the U.S. statement at a conference on the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty to be held Sept. 24 and 25 in New York City.
The White House made the announcement Tuesday.
Press secretary Robert Gibbs says the conference has been held every other year since 1999, when the U.S. made its only appearance.
Gibbs says Clinton will reaffirm the Obama administration's commitment to support the test ban treaty and to work with other countries to map out a strategy for getting it in force. So far, only 35 of 44 states that must adopt the treaty have done so.

Here's hoping that we do not become members. I am sorry but these international treaties make me nervous. Its to much one world government and I don't like it. I am against the international crimininal court.
