I agree.United States uf America Congressional "Record PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE 99 CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION Vol. 131 WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1985 No. 16 7 Senate Mr. HECHT addressed the Chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada. Mr. HECHT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak for no more than 1 minute, please. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. HECHT. In reply to the distinguished Senator from Ohio, in this past week many top Jewish attorneys, international attorneys, met on my behalf. I asked them to analyze the Genocide Treaty. It was their unanimous opinion, for which I will have proper documentation, and not being an attorney I will not speak on the merits of what they have come forth with, to date. However, it is their opinion that the Genocide Treaty would not be in the best interest of the State of Israel or the United States of America.
