HowardEndorse Bush-Putin on Nuclear Energy
Bush and Putin Endorse Enhanced Nuclear Power for the Developing World
Putin and Bush at Kennebunkport, Maine:
July 2nd, 2007 - Presidents George Bush and Vladimir Putin issued a "Declaration on Nuclear Energy and Nonproliferation" on July 3 from their historic "Lobster Summit" in Kennebunkport, Maine, as part of the agreement to improve cooperation between the world's two leading powers. The Declaration calls for increasing the levels of joint cooperation on nuclear technology, and in particular to assure enhanced access to nuclear power to the developing nations. LaRouche encouraged people to give efficient support for these important measures.

Really Long Link
Joint Actions
We share a common vision of growth in the use of nuclear energy,
including in developing countries, to increase the supply of
electricity, promote economic growth and development, and reduce
reliance on fossil fuels, resulting in decreased pollution and
greenhouse gasses.
This expansion of nuclear energy should be conducted in a way
that strengthens the nuclear nonproliferation regime. We
strongly support the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear
Weapons, and are committed to its further strengthening. We
support universal adherence to the IAEA Additional Protocol, and
call on those who have not yet done so to sign and ratify it. We
support the activities of the IAEA with respect to both
safeguards and promotion of peaceful nuclear energy, and fully
understand the need for growth of its capabilities, including its
financial resources, commensurate with the expanded use of
nuclear energy worldwide.
We are prepared to support expansion of nuclear energy in the
following ways, consistent with national law and international
legal frameworks. These efforts build on, reinforce, and
complement a range of existing activities, including the work at
the IAEA for reliable access to nuclear fuel, the initiative of
the Russian Federation on developing Global Nuclear
Infrastructure, including the nuclear fuel center in the Russian
Federation, the initiative of the United States to establish the
Global Nuclear Energy Partnership, the IAEA International Project
on Innovative Nuclear Rectors and Fuel Cycles, and the Generation
IV International Forum.
We are prepared to enter into discussions jointly and bilaterally
to develop mutually beneficial approaches with states considering
nuclear energy or considering expansion of existing nuclear
energy programs in conformity with their rights and obligations
under the NPT. The development of economical and reliable access
to nuclear energy is designed to permit states to gain the
benefits of nuclear energy and to create a viable alternative to
the acquisition of sensitive fuel cycle technologies.
