US wants assurance on Dr. AQ Khan, Weapons of Mass Destruction

President Barack Obama wants assurance from Islamabad that released Pakistani scientist Abdul Qader Khan, accused of leaking atomic secrets, isn't involved in any of the activity that led to his arrest. "Obviously the president and this government want assurances that Dr Khan is not engaged or involved in any of the activity that resulted in his house arrest earlier," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Friday.

A Pakistani court on Friday ordered the release of Khan, considered the father of Pakistan's atomic bomb, who spent five years under house arrest after admitting selling nuclear secrets to Iran, North Korea and Libya. "We've seen the reports of the release but have yet to receive official word from the government," Gibbs said. "Obviously, this president has made clear many times the great concern that he has about nuclear proliferation. " Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton also expressed concern about the release of Khan. In the House, foreign affairs committee chairman Howard Berman suggested that US aid to Pakistan could suffer because of the development. Berman said he is "deeply concerned" that Pakistan may be giving Khan "license to resume, perhaps directly, his past actions to aid, abet and profit from the spread of nuclear weapons."

Congress, Berman said, will take Pakistan's refusal to allow US officials to interview Khan "into account as we review and create legislation on US-Pakistan relations and the circumstances under which US assistance is provided to Islamabad." CIA spokesman George Little called Khan "one of the most dangerous proliferators in history" and praised the disruption of his smuggling network as "a genuine intelligence success."

Earlier, state department spokesman Gordon Duguid describing Khan as "a serious proliferation risk" said in US view "it would be unfortunate if the court released him." "We believe AQ Khan remains a serious proliferation risk. The proliferation support that Khan and his associates provided to Iran and North Korea has had a harmful impact on international security, and will for years to come."

"The Pakistanis are well aware of our position on this," he said. "This is not a new position." Asked if the US was anticipating Khan's release when it recently announced sanctions targeting him, the spokesman said: "The sanctions were announced to target the AQ Khan network, which we are actively pursuing and we are trying to roll up." "And the United States and its international partners have done a good job in tracking down this network. That should have no effect or influence on whether or not Mr. Khan is let out of his current status of detention," he said.

Obama's economic recovery plan on track in Senate, 3 million jobs

President Barack Obama's economic recovery plan is on track to pass Senate by a handful of moderate Republicans and Democrats have more than $ 100 billion in cuts in programs that will not create many jobs at once. But the group backed away from a confrontation that threatened to kill the legislation entirely of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel weighed in to urge Democrats to do a last round of concessions. States want a large amount, which aims to prevent cuts in benefits or tax increases. Much of the money goes to victims of the recession in the form of food stamps, unemployment and healthcare. It is money, as well, for the construction of highways and bridges. It is hoped that the overall effort would work themselves into the economy and save or create 3 million jobs or so to begin to facilitate the combination of recession in the end of this year.

Architects for the compromise, including Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Ben Nelson, D-authorities. Represents a larger group of Moderates unhappy that so much money that went into the programs they thought would not create jobs. Ultimately, all Republican except Collins and Arlen Specter, R-Pa.

At the same time ensure the passage of the Obama plan in the Senate within a few days, the agreement contains hard negotiations with Parliament. Officials put the cost of the bill for $ 827 billion, including Obama's signature tax cut of up to $ 1,000 for working couples. There is also a tax credit of up to $ 15,000 for homebuyers and small breaks for people buying new cars. Much of the new costs would be for the victims of recession, in the form of unemployment, health and food stamps.

In a large decline from the bill reached the Senate floor earlier this week, $ 40 billion would be cut from a "fiscal stabilization fund" for state governments, even if the $ 14 billion to increase the maximum Pell Grants for college for $ 400 to $ 5250 will be maintained which will support local school districts for children who are not on the law and special education. A plan to help unemployed people buy health insurance would be reduced to 50 per cent subsidy, rather than two-thirds. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Who had sought Friday to cut only $ 63 billion in investments from the bill, throwing a wrench in the negotiations, called it a perfect compromise. He warmly praised it.
