 Treaty No. 6   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Referring to the "medicine chest" clause of Treaty No. 6, it is common knowledge that the provisions for caring for the sick and injuring in the areas inhabited by the Indians in 1876 were somewhat primitive compared to the present day standards.
In the interpretation of the clauses of a treaty, one must first look to the words used and give to those words the ordinary meaning that would be attributed to them at the time the treaty was made.
Treaty 6 was unique in providing that a medicine chest should be kept at the house of the Indian agent.

 Yorkshire CND - Gore Would Consider Scrapping ABM Treaty - 6/6/00   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
At a Moscow summit last weekend, President Clinton failed to reach agreement with Putin over modifying the ABM treaty to permit a new missile defense system which could protect the United States from the threat of attack from rogue nations, which could have nuclear capabilities in a few years.
Gore told Reuters in an interview on Monday he did not believe the Russian's refusal to go along with changes in the ABM treaty would be their final position on the issue.
Clinton plans to decide later this year on whether to proceed with the system, depending, in part, on the results of tests on the technology which, to date, have not been as effective as hoped.
