    REPORT RELATIVE TO THE EXPORT OF ACCELEROMETERS TO THE PEOPLE'S 
            REPUBLIC OF CHINA'S MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS--PM 33

  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following message 
from the President of the United States, together with an accompanying 
report; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:

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 36 
accelerometers to the People's Republic of China's Ministry of 
Railways, for use in a railroad track geometry measuring 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 export, will not measurably improve the missile or 
space launch capabilities of the People's Republic of China.
                                                      George W. Bush,  
The White House, December 14, 2005.
