Hearing to feature alternative strategy on Iranian nukes
23 April 2008 Posted By Emily Blout
There will be a hearing in the Homeland Security Committee tomorrow on Iran’s nuclear program. Among the expert witnesses will be Dr. Jim Walsh of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and co-author of the Luers/Pickering/Walsh proposal for a joint international nuclear fuel bank on Iranian soil. This proposal, which enjoys the backing of an increasing number of policy makers, was first presented to Congress at NIAC’s conference on April 8.
We also expect Senator Diane Feinstein and Senator Arlen Specter to make a guest appearance at the hearing. The California Democrat and the Pennsylvania Republican will likely use the forum to articulate the need for negotiations with Iran without preconditions.

This is great news. I like it. Sounds like a very easy solution to implement. NIAC does it again!
Godspeed!
i hope this can fly.
This hearing was pretty good, though the only real new idea was presented by Jim Walsh and the basic premise has been around for a while. Still, its nice to have Senators like Tom Carper who are willing to take a step back and really look at this issue. I just wish more members would take this approach….
