US-UAE 'nuclear pact'?

"Proposed Cooperation With Middle Eastern Nation Would Face Hurdles in Congress on Proliferation Fears", in the WSJ, here
"The move could place President-elect Barack Obama in a political tight spot with a Middle East ally by forcing him to decide whether to push Congress to ratify the agreement. He hasn't taken an official position on the deal. An Obama spokesman declined to comment. The Bush administration has championed the nuclear agreement with the U.A.E. as a model for promoting peaceful nuclear energy while guarding against weapons proliferation."
