SUBJECT:       Presidential Determination on the Proposed Agreement 
               for Cooperation Between the United States of America

I have considered the proposed Agreement for Cooperation Between the United States of America and Ukraine Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy, along with the views, recommendations, and statements of the interested agencies.

I have determined that the performance of the agreement will promote, and will not constitute an unreasonable risk to, the common defense and security.

The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to publish this determination in the Federal Register.
