"India has shown itself to be a responsible global stakeholder and the (US) President announced our position on India's membership in the Security Council," State Department spokesman, PJ Crowley, told reporters.

"Our support for India is not exclusive of our support for other countries as well," Crowley said in response to a question.

Crowley said the US is supportive of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, but did not specifically say if he wants India to sign it.

"We have encouraged Pakistan to sign on to the Fissile Material Cut-off regime," he said though.
