Katie Crawford- The House of Representatives met on Saturday, September 27, to approve a nuclear pact with India. Surprisingly the vote was yes for the U.S. giving nuclear materials for India. There has been much debate over this issue, but the President made sure that it was addressed quickly. He said that signing the bill would be beneficial for both India and United States.
This connects to what we were talking about last class period and how we won’t help in less there is something in it for ourselves. By having this partnership with India, we are making ourselves stronger, and it will help India with their growing energy needs. On the flip side of that, people are continuing to say that the United States is just helping spread the idea of using nuclear weapons. They question this because India’s military reactors will not have to be checked.
The pact says that the United States will ship atomic fuel to India for thirty years. Most supported because it will put their nuclear facilities under inspection for the first time. The pact includes that United States will make sure that the power is used correctly and will ask for everything back if India decides to create any nuclear weapon tests in the future.
