Indo-US Nuclear Bill Passed 

New Delhi, November 16, 2006

U.S.-India Civil Nuclear Cooperation agreement passed with a thumping majority in the US Senate.

Now the next step of reconciliation between the Bills passed by the US Senate and the US House of Representatives is important and needs to be expedited. The very fact that the Bill was passed in the lame duck session of the Senate speaks of the bi-partisan support and the importance placed on the bilateral ties.

A series of doubts and cynicism after the recent Mid-Term polls in US had arrested the possibilty of the Bill passing through. But with the confidence of White House and a determined persuasion of Indo-US Nuclear lobby the sailed through unquestionably.

This Bill is a forward step reflecting a whole new level of trust and there is high expectation now that the final bill will take into account India's aspirations that will bring about a strong partnership between the US and India.
