Nuclear Deal - Obama Sends Report To US Congress  Barack Obama |
Soon after India and the US reached an agreement over End Use Monitoring of sensitive technology, President Barack Obama sent his first report on the India-US civil nuclear deal inked last October to US Congress on Tuesday.
"The report covers the period of October 4, 2008, to June 30, 2009. It provides an update on US-India civil nuclear cooperation and developments that relate to India's nuclear-related activities," Obama wrote to chairman and ranking members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
But, the contents of the report have not been disclosed. Obama wrote to Congressional leaders: "Classified information associated with these issues has been provided in a separate classified annex."
This is the first report submitted by the US President to the Congress as required by the United States-India Nuclear Cooperation Approval and Non-proliferation Enhancement Act of 2008.
The Act requires President to give several determinations to the Congress on the progress in implementation of the Act and the activities of India with regard to non-proliferation.
