I must say that the amendment offered by the Senator from California is, in my judgment, a killer amendment.

The amendment as written would not permit the U.S.-India agreement to go into effect until India abandoned its military-to-military contacts with Iran. This is a killer condition that, if adopted by Congress, would require renegotiation of the agreement.
