Wilson Applauds Historic U.S.–India Agreement

March 2, 2006
Today, Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) made the following statement regarding the announcement of a proposed civilian nuclear cooperation agreement between the United States and India:

"Indian and American citizens value democracy, economic opportunity, and energy independence, and our countries are naturally suited to work together in the 21st century," said Wilson. "Today, President Bush and Prime Minister Singh made a decision to unite our common goals in an agreement which will advance our strategic partnership, enhance our energy security, and strengthen our global nonproliferation efforts. This positive development is another symbol of the strong bond that exists between our two nations. I remain dedicated to gaining Congressional support for this landmark proposal."
