It seems a little odd that a Nation that holds all other countries to International Treaties is always on the cusp of breaking such treaties whenever it seems suitable. It makes International Law or any law seem rather meaningless. Peace Action reports that the Bush Administration is continuing to make their argument for India to have Nukes when India has not signed the Non Proliferation Treaty. Such an action is directly against US policy as agreed to by the treaty.
The following is extracted from the Peace Action Letter:
'Today, June 27, the House International Relations Committee (HIRC) will mark-up H.R. 4974 and on Wednesday, June 28, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC) will mark up S. 2429 -- these are the Administration's bills for the unsafe U.S./India Nuclear Deal.
At these committee meetings, Members of Congress will have opportunities to make this deal less dangerous. Members of these committees need to get phone calls from constituents today to influence the legislation before it's too late. Click here to see if your Rep. is on the HIRC, and click here to see if your Senator is on the SFRC.
Call Committe Members to say the following:
"I want Rep./Sen. _______________ to oppose the U.S./India Nuclear Deal and to support amendments that address nonproliferation problems with the deal."
