If you are aware of this thing called Google you can enter United States Code and faster than you can say 'Hey-Presto!' you will be only one click away from the entire USC.
Enter anything you want on this subject into the search boxes and you will come back with.... Nothing.
I know this will mean nothing to the True Believers, but for those that can see several glaring errors in the essay right off the bat.......
Funny how this stuff always comes up around election time and it always involves Democrats.
Say......... Have you heard how the Democrats intend to return the Southwest to Mexico? Yup, the states of California, Nevada, Texas, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado; all of them are going to be turned over to Mexico as soon as the Dems control both Houses and the Prez's office. I know this is true because I received an e-mail on it. You see, there is this thing called NAFTA..........

Hey Pooka, Presto! My search boxes come back full of USC.

(1) The preparation for and management of United States participation in international negotiations and implementation fora in the arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament field.
