WhirlView: The legislation that President Bush signed on the US India nuclear technology last week is not an agreement to trade nuclear technology. It waived the laws prohibiting trade with nations that have not signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty says WhirlView. The bill also lays out a number of requirements that must be met before trade can take place.
What the president didn’t say during the signing ceremony was that he appended a signing statement that undermines changes Congress had made during the bill that strengthened oversight over an technology transfer. Michael Roston at Raw Story details what in the signing statement undermines the law.
