		Like his predecessor, Harris was cautioned to avoid exceeding the promises laid down in the treaty and was to "ascertain whether the Indians are ready and able to use" the tools promised them in the original accord.
		Harris was also requested to arrange for the dispersal of the triennial clothing allotment and was to take the measurements of all chiefs and headmen entitled to a suit of clothing.
		Treaty Commissioner Conroy, with the assistance of Bishop Breynat, provided those assurances, although their responses appeared to have been couched in language sufficiently vague to leave the matter subject to misinterpretation.

		The treaty, the first Japan had made with any Western nation, was a diplomatic triumph for the United States and an unavoidable concession for the Japanese.
		The "tycoon" Harris had met died before the treaty was approved, and, while the regent for the 12-year-old new shogun persuaded him to sign it, the emperor opposed it.
		Since Harris in his norimono, a kind of Japanese palanquin, had been allowed to ride deep into Edo Castle to a point usually reserved for imperial princes, the ambassadors worried how closely they could approach the White House in their carriages.

	US-Russia Nuclear Weapons Treaty Misses Historic Opportunity for Deep Cuts... : Thunderbay IMC
		The nuclear weapons reduction treaty that will be signed in Moscow by presidents Bush and Putin on May 24, has been billed by some in the administration as an official end to the Cold War.
		But the treaty also allows each side to store, rather than destroy de-activated weapons, permitting them to be re-activated on short notice.
		Arms control advocates caution that while reductions of nuclear weapons are all to the good, this treaty misses an historic opportunity to make more dramatic cuts in both nation's arsenals and lead the world's other current and future nuclear powers toward effective disarmament.

		And given the difficulty of keeping genes in their proper places, by the time the Cartagena Protocol and all of its liability and labeling laws take full effect, the proverbial genie may be long since out of the bottle.
