Washington is confident that the US Congress will approve the landmark civilian nuclear deal with India before US President George W. Bush visits India early next year. A senior US official said the chances for Congressional approval of change to US laws to allow full civil nuclear energy cooperation and trade with India had improved vastly by India's recent vote at the International Atomic Energy Agency on Iran's nuclear programme.

Enumerating the reasons for the expanded cooperation with India, he said the United States agreed to the nuclear deal because it knew that India had protected its nuclear technology for 30 years and had not proliferated.
