>Not an expansion, look at the list in the topic paper. This ammendment to
the CFE treaty was submitted to the Committee on April 7, 1997. Several
things on the list are protocols or ammendments and may or may not be
topical depending on the topic wording. So long as the resolution didn't
include protocols the aff would face an uphill T battle, but even under the
most expansive list of the treaties pending ratification in the senate your
still only looking at 53 cases possible and not all of those being
strategically viable.
