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 that the export of 22 
accelerometers for incorporation into railway geometry measurement 
systems and one 20-inch fluid energy mill for production of nutritional 
supplements is not detrimental to the United States 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.
                                                      George W. Bush.
