What the document says

“the Secretary of State should order an immediate freeze on all efforts to implement unratified treaties and international agreements”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 174

The chapter asks for a freeze on implementing unratified treaties and agreements, on resource allocation, foreign assistance disbursements, contracts and payments, and hiring, pending a review led by political appointees. It says the quality of the review matters more than its speed.

What the document actually says

“the Secretary of State should order an immediate freeze on all efforts to implement unratified treaties and international agreements”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 174
That sentence, in plain words

Stop all work on treaties the Senate has not approved.

What this is about

The Senate must approve a treaty for it to count. Some are followed before that happens. The book says all such work should stop at once.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
