Is this one of the 34 Treaties that the Senate secretly ratified on a voice vote?

Probably. And this was obviously no accident. It required the collusion of the White House, and both parties in the Senate. I encourage anyone here who cares about these issues to revisit the thread at the link you post.

On December 8, his [Senator Craig Thomas (R-WY)] office called to explain that Senator Thomas just happened to be on the Senate Floor late in the afternoon of October 18 -- and was asked by the leadership to handle procedurally, the package of treaties...

This was clearly a setup, a move to deceive the American people in a late night or early morning vote. As the article by Henry Lamb cited in your link mentions, it took more than a month before other Senators even knew about it.

The establishment media, as usual, played it's role by failing to inform the American people of the bi-partisan scandal that had just taken place.

I would expect this of Clinton and algore, but Craig Thomas? This incident should be reopened for investigation, and Trent Lott and Thomas should be pressured to explain it to the voters.

What was in the other 33 treaties approved in the secret vote in those wee hours of October 18/19? What say you Mr. Lott?
