    Statement on the Conclusion of Negotiations With India on a Bilateral
    Agreement for Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation
    July 27, 2007

        I welcome the conclusion of negotiations on a bilateral agreement
    between the United States and India for peaceful nuclear cooperation. I
    commend those from both countries who have worked hard to make this deal
    happen, and I look forward to working with Congress to realize this
    important initiative. This marks another step in the continued progress
    that is deepening our strategic partnership with India, a vital world
    leader.
