USINPAC Launches Petition urging US Congress to Access AQ Khan & to Seek Transparency of Pakistan’s Expenditure of US Financial Aid
Dear friend,
This is a ‘Call for Action’ from USINPAC!
We need your support for the petition to US Congress

Facts: Recent claims made by Pakistani nuclear scientist, AQ Khan, particularly about the illegal transfer of weapons technology to Iran are extremely alarming. It is evident that there is a strong need to question AQ Khan, but the United States has deliberately been prevented from talking to him directly by our ally, Pakistan. The fact that Pakistan with its track record receives billions of dollars in aid from the US without any transparency and accountability is stunning.
USINPAC’s stand: USINPAC (US India Political Action Committee) strongly urges US lawmakers to pressure Pakistan in allowing AQ Khan to be brought in front of a global body such as the IAEA so that the international community can get to the bottom of what appears to be a nexus of proliferation with countries such as Iran, North Korea and possibly others. US Congress needs to also ask for an audit of the money spent by the Government of Pakistan.

TEXT OF PETITION
ASK THE US CONGRESS TO DEMAND FROM PAKISTAN ACCESS TO A.Q. KHAN
AND AN AUDIT OF $7.5 BILLION IN US TAXPAYER FUNDED AID
To: U.S. Congress,
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED EXPRESS DEEP CONCERN:
1) That the United States Congress has passed a bill tripling U.S. aid to Pakistan without first establishing accountability and transparency of Pakistani expenditure of US aid funding, past and present.
2) That the United States Government has failed to:
- Gain access for questioning to A.Q. Khan, the disgraced Father of the Pakistani nuclear bomb. Khan recently boasted about providing nuclear technology for military use to Iran and North Korea (http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/pakistan/aqkhan-083109.pdf)
- Investigate Pakistan's proliferation of nuclear weapons technology to rogue regimes such as North Korea and Iran; and
- Audit the safeguards and security of Pakistan's nuclear assets from seizure and control by terrorist groups.
3) That the United States Government has failed to evaluate and apply sanctions against Pakistani for the widely reported illegal modification of US defense technology, the Harpoon I missiles, in violation of US Export Control laws.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
