I think it is a dangerous policy. It is an unnecessary policy.

It should also require some specific new nonproliferation commitments from India such as signature of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

I do not think any clear reading of the NPT or the NSG rules can lead to that logical conclusion, I will be honest with you.

Yes, but they are not in compliance. I understand. They are not in compliance with the rules.

Are you going to revise the rules for their membership, or are you just going to set them aside? Which is the administration going to do?

We are not only granting India exemptions from global nonproliferation rules, but we are actually proposing to include India in the body that decides on those rules.

Admitting India would undermine [the objectives of the Nuclear Suppliers Group].

Since 2010, the Obama administration has sought to gain Indian membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group.

The breakthrough understanding that President Obama and Prime Minister Modi achieved last January on his Republic Day visit was with respect to this particular issue of liability.

This should be a two-way trade where there is investment in technology transfer in developing a modern and world-class poultry industry for the people of India, as well as an export opportunity for the United States.

I do believe that we have an agricultural dialogue which seeks to advance market access.

I represent a State that has a county that grows more poultry than any other county in America.

I think these remain an important area of work for us in our relationship with India to make sure that we address our shared values, whether religious tolerance and inclusion or addressing the fundamental human rights violations against…

We do believe that increasingly there is recognition that no kind of terrorist organization will be acceptable.

We do not see this as zero sum, but we do recognize that for India and Pakistan, that there are a number of outstanding issues.

We have long encouraged India and Pakistan to engage in dialogues and to address some of the many issues.

There is no country that cannot improve their human rights records, including the United States and India.

I just want to thank the Senator for his work. We have been partnering on this issue of eliminating bag fees at airports. Since they have been imposed, 27 percent more bags now go through baggage clearing with passengers. If we could just…

You and I, we don't agree on climate change, but we do agree that we have to be committed to cleaning up old industrial contaminated sites so that they can be reused.

The bill's authors balanced their desire to enable nuclear innovation by reforming the NRC's licensing process with the public interest in nuclear safety.

Together, the changes that were included to improve on the safety issues raised by the Union of Concerned Scientists resulted in proposed changes that have considerably improved this legislation.

I was concerned that the bill's repeal of the mandatory hearing for new construction and operating licenses would undermine the public's access to important safety information.

I also stated my concern about the bill's cap on the NRC's collection of fees, which I felt could undermine the Commission's safety and security mission by reducing its access to needed resources.

Yes. So, they become electronic kind of Luca Brasis, you know, as debt collectors, which is bothering you all night long.

This provision, coupled with the TCPA carve-out in the budget deal, will open the floodgates to private debt collectors robocalling and robotexting millions of Americans.
