Sir, - The United States of America should be commended for its prompt action in imposing sanctions on India in response to the latter's decision to commence underground nuclear testing.
Perhaps somebody would be good enough to refresh my memory and remind me of what sanctions the United States of America imposed on France when they carried out their underground nuclear tests in the Pacific a number of years ago. - Yours etc.,
R. O'Gealag,
