On the recordJuly 26, 2006

NPT, the Nonproliferation Treaty, is something that we all hold in great respect. But I believe, as do many of my colleagues, the ``T'' needs to stand for tent. We need to find a way to bring India into the tent of nonproliferators, as she has always been a nonproliferating country. She has never once proliferated beyond her borders, unlike some of her neighbors. If you want to have a similar deal as has been struck between the United States and India, you need to act as Gary Ackerman says, like India. I urge all my colleagues to support the rule and final passage of a clean bill.
