New Delhi, July 4 : US Congressman Gary Ackerman met Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh here today in the backdrop of the Bush administration support to the Indo-US civil nuclear deal.

Ackerman, who is also the chairman of the House of Representatives panel on west and south Asia, was accompanied by five other delegates at the meeting. 

Ackerman had earlier expressed his doubts over getting the approval of the US Congress for the 123 Agreement, the final step towards operationalising the nuclear deal before the end of the term of George W Bush's administration.
