THE SECRETARY OF ENERGY

SUBJECT:       Presidential Determination on the Proposed
               Agreement for Cooperation Between the United States of
               America and Australia Concerning Technology for the
               Separation of Isotopes of Uranium by Laser Excitation

I have considered the proposed Agreement for Cooperation Between the United States of America and Australia Concerning Technology for the Separation of Isotopes of Uranium by Laser Excitation, 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. Pursuant to section 123 b. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2153(b)), I hereby approve the proposed Agreement and authorize you to arrange for its execution.

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

WILLIAM J. CLINTON
