S.A. 5183 to S. 3709 Nuclear Non-proliferation.

The Feingold amendment seeks to require as a precondition to United States-India peaceful nuclear energy cooperation a determination by the President that such cooperation does nothing to assist, encourage, or induce India to manufacture or acquire nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.

Peace Action

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.
