"Secondly, the 123 civil nuclear legislation also underscores our support for India in this debate that is going on. Thirdly, our law clearly points out to clean waiver for India. So the President firmly supports it, the 123 agreement firmly supports it and our law firmly commits us to it," he added. He expressed hope that the 2006 India-US civil nuclear deal will move forward positively with New Delhi's willingness to ratify the Convention on Supplementary Compensation (CSC) for nuclear damage.'US committed to NSG waiver to India' - Times of India
