THE SECRETARY OF ENERGY

SUBJECT: Presidential Determination on the Proposed Protocol

           Amending the Agreement for Cooperation Concerning Civil
           Uses of Atomic Energy Between the Government of the United
           States of America and the Government of Canada

I have considered the proposed Protocol Amending the Agreement for Cooperation Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Canada signed at Washington on June 15, 1955, as amended, along with the views, recommendations, and statements of the interested agencies.

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