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.
