WASHINGTON; The time is "very short" for the approval of the Indo-US nuclear deal in the Congressional session beginning Monday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said while hailing the grant of the NSG waiver to India.
The first thing "is that we still have a little more to do on the determinations for the Hyde Act, and we will try to complete that...," Rice said in a Roundtable with the Travelling Press in Algiers, the capital of Algeria. "I have already talked before this NSG, several weeks before, to relevant committee chairs about trying to get it done, and I will have those conversations again, most likely on Monday or Tuesday, as well as trying to see whether the leadership believes that this can go forward." Rice, however said, "...we understand that the time is very short. We knew that in the summer, when the Indians were able finally to move this forward in their domestic process. But I think we have demonstrated the commitment of the administration to this agreement, because we have worked this with the very, very strong help of partners through the IAEA and through the NSG in very rapid order." "I don't think most people thought that we were going to be able to get this through the NSG this weekend," she said, according to a transcript released http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Rice_to_push_US_Congress_to_approve_N-deal/articleshow/3454558.cms ekamber The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes. ---Churchill --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Kences1" group.
