Bush's India Nuclear Deal Encourages Proliferation Last summer, President Bush and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced a plan to resume full civilian nuclear cooperation for the first time since India improperly used U.S. nuclear material for its 1974 bomb test. If it goes forward, this deal would send a strong message to the rest of the world that the U.S. no longer plays by the rules established by the international community in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Bending these rules weakens efforts to stop nuclear development in other countries around the globe. Congress has the power to stop this proposal. Providing nuclear technology to India requires a radical revision in U.S. nonproliferation law, and President Bush can’t do that without Congress’ approval. Representative Ed Markey (D-MA) and Representative Fred Upton (R-MI) have introduced legislation that opposes this plan. H.Con.Res. 318 would preserve the U.S. commitment to preventing the spread of nuclear weapons.

February 09, 2010 Subject: I’m writing to ask that you cosponsor H. Con. Res. 318, legislation opposing the proposed civilian nuclear cooperation deal with India. This deal violates the principles of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, and rewards India despite its nuclear weapons development, sending the wrong message to the rest of the world. We should do everything in our power to stop, not encourage, the spread of these dangerous weapons. Please write and let me know if you will cosponsor this critical legislation. We will add your signature from the information you provide.
