To the Congress of the United States:
    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 to the 
Congress that the export of fine grain graphite to be used for 
solar cell applications and for the fabrication of components 
used in electronic and semiconductor fabrication, and two dual-
motor, dual-shaft mixers to be used to produce carbon fiber and 
epoxy prepregs for the commercial airline industry 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 these exports, will not 
measurably improve the missile or space launch capabilities of 
the People's Republic of China.

                                                      Barack Obama.
