2 See, e.g., Remarks, Sen. Bricker (Rep. Ohio):

There are two reasons, Mr. Chairman, why Senate Joint Resolution has attracted such widespread support. The American people want to make certain that no treaty or executive agreement will be effective to deny or abridge their fundamental rights. Also, they do not want their basic rights to be supervised or controlled by international agencies over which they have no control.
