Subject: Clinton gets the word wrong... or does he?

I kid you not:

"Many who had questions about the treaty worked hard to postpone the
vote because they knew a defeat would be damaging to America's interests
and to our role in leading the world away from nonproliferation."

- Clinton on defeat of Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, 14 October 1999

Is it an Orwellian slip?

"Nonproliferation" isn't even in the OED, much less our foreign policy
agenda.
