Jewish organization urges full implementation of nuke deal with India
The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), a Washington based advocacy group, urged the Obama Administration to strengthen what it called the "critically important" U.S.-India relationship, especially to counter the alleged nuclear threat from Iran.
"The United States could not have a more important partner in the effort to curb Iranian nuclear weapons development and counter the scourge of global nuclear proliferation than India," said JINSA Executive Director Tom Neumann in a release from the organization March 31.
Neumann also expressed concern over the appointment of Rep. Ellen O. Tauscher (DCA) as Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security because of her long-standing opposition to the United States-India Nuclear Cooperation Approval and Non-proliferation Enhancement Act

Nuclear nations approve disputed India trade waiver
Forty-five nations approved a U.S. proposal on September 6 to lift a global ban on nuclear trade with India in a breakthrough towards sealing the U.S.-India civilian nuclear co-operation deal.
One hurdle remained before the U.S.-India deal can take force - ratification by the U.S.Congress. It must act before adjourning in late September for elections or the deal could be left to an uncertain fate under a new U.S.administration.
The U.S.-India deal raised international misgivings since India has shunned the NonProliferation Treaty (NPT) meant to stop the spread and production of nuclear weapons and mandate gradual disarmament, and a companion test ban pact.
