AMENDMENT TO THE NUCLEAR DEAL WITH INDIA.
Throughout the yearlong debate regarding the deal to share civilian nuclear technology with India, a central concern was India’s capacity to produce nuclear weapons. Amendment 5183 to Senate 3709 would have required that the India deal could only move forward if the president certified that civilian nuclear cooperation with India did nothing to assist, encourage or induce India to manufacture or acquire additional nuclear weapons. Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) sponsored the amendment.
