...Saturday, with the focus being on reducing the danger level between two countries perennially on the brink of war. "The U.S. would like nothing more than to reverse India and Pakistan's nuclear programs, but Washington has no realistic way of doing that," says TIME State Department correspondent Doug Waller. "So the immediate concern is to stop the nuclear buildup on both sides and develop mechanisms that minimize the potential for nuclear warfare between the two countries. Remember, while each side has a collection of nuclear weapons, they have little by way of structures and procedures governing their use - mutual...
...during the President's visit will be on getting India and Pakistan to sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which may be a long shot given Mr. Clinton's failure to have it ratified on Capitol Hill last year. "Naturally last year's vote undercuts U.S. bargaining power," says Waller. "The Indians will simply say, 'Why should we rush to sign when your own Senate won't even ratify it?'"

"Washington's primary concern in dealing with India right now is avoiding a nuclear flashpoint in South Asia," says TIME State Department correspondent Doug Waller. "Although both India and Pakistan now have explosive nuclear devices, they haven't instituted the vast intelligence and command systems needed for safe deployment of those weapons. With neither side even having the ability for advanced surveillance of the other, there's plenty of opportunities for a disastrous mistake as a result...
