HYDE UNITED STATES-INDIA PEACEFUL ATOMIC ENERGY COOPERATION ACT OF 2006 ______ speech of HON. JAMES T. WALSH of new york in the house of representatives Friday, December 8, 2006 Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to affirm the significance of our Nation's friendship with India through implementation of the U.S.- India Nuclear Cooperation Promotion Act of 2006. Our friendship with India is among the most important bilateral relationships for our Nation's security and prosperity. As a fellow partner in democracy, India has stood firm with the United States in many different arenas--from fighting the war on terrorism, to advancing both the U.S. and Indian economies, to assisting in the formulation of a productive dialogue with China. Time and again, India has shown herself to be a proven ally and this legislation represents yet another historic milestone in the association between our two great nations. This agreement marks a I80-degree policy shift pertaining to nuclear relations between India and the United States. This agreement permits the U.S. to sell technology to India for nuclear power development and in return, India will open up for inspection its civilian nuclear program, agree not to test nuclear weapons, and abide by nuclear export controls. In essence, this legislation brings India to the [[Page E2242]] world stage as a verifiable and accountable nuclear power while reaffirming the U.S. and India as economic partners in peace. Mr. Speaker, this is a good and appropriate piece of legislation. This bill has undergone months of deliberation, been subject to modification and amendment and finally, brought forth for a vote. I would like to commend Chairman Hyde and Ranking Member Lantos for all their hard work on this bill and reemphasize the significance it carries in furthering economic and technological cooperatives amongst democratic partners. ____________________ |
