Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
President Bush has re-issued his request that the Senate give
its advice and consent to the United States' ratification of the UN
Convention on the Law of the Sea. Conservatives have
effectively prevented Senate consideration of UNCLOS in the
past. Given the Administration's renewed request, the
question is whether conservatives should continue to oppose
ratification.
Join our distinguished panelists as they attempt to answer this
timely and important question.
