Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Madam Speaker: In accordance with the provisions of 
section 1512 of the Strom Thurmond National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (Public Law 105-261), I 
hereby certify that the export to the People's Republic of 
China of two jet mills for fine grinding of friable or 
crystalline materials to be used in the manufacture of spandex 
fiber and semiconductor compounds and one spare beam centerline 
that will be exported for repair/replacement for the continuous 
operation of a cargo inspection system is not detrimental to 
the U.S. space launch industry, and that the material and 
equipment, including any indirect technical benefit that could 
be derived from such exports, will not measurably improve the 
missile or space launch capabilities of the People's Republic 
of China.
            Sincerely,
                                                    George W. Bush.
