-Caveat Lector- Saturday July 24 2:09 PM ET U.S. Nuclear Adviser Sent to India WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States is sending the Energy Department's top arms control official on a six-month mission to India in hopes of bringing India under nuclear nonproliferation accords. Starting Sept. 1, Joan Rohlfing, the department's senior adviser for national security, will join the staff of U.S. Ambassador Richard Celeste in New Delhi, the department said Saturday. ``Ambassador Celeste is working on some very tough nonproliferation issues in the region. I'm pleased to be able to support his effort,'' Energy Secretary Bill Richardson said in announcing the assignment. Neither India nor Pakistan, belligerent neighbors since the partition of South Asia in the late 1940s, has signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Each set off a series of nuclear explosions last year. The State Department has pressed strongly this year for India, which set off its first nuclear blast in 1974, to sign the 1968 treaty. Richardson said Rohlfing ``brings great expertise and skills to this important project.'' In the department, her job is to advise Richardson on nuclear arms control, nonproliferation and management of nuclear weapons stockpiles. -- "Those who want to hear the voice of pagan gods in wind or thunder, who want to see the fairies dance in the moonlight, who can believe that faith can move mountains, can follow the thread on the pages of this book.
