WASHINGTON: A senior US senator said he would push Congress to adopt the civilian nuclear deal with India if New Delhi was keen to pursue it.
���If these reports are in fact true, and I hope they are, I am committed to work hard in order to get Congress to approve such a deal - as long as the required steps are taken and if the agreement with the United States meets the requirements of US law,��� said Democratic Senator Joseph Biden.
Biden, the chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, noted that he had told that PM Manmohan Singh during a visit to New Delhi in February that ���time is running out very quickly.��� ���Every day without an agreement leaves us fewer legislative days before this Congressional term ends,��� he said.
