    REPORT RELATING TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE 
 INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY FOR THE APPLICATION OF SAFEGUARDS--
  MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 111-37)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States; which was read and, together 
with the accompanying papers, referred to the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs and ordered to be printed:

To the Congress of the United States:
  I transmit herewith a list of the sites, locations, facilities, and 
activities in the United States that I intend to declare to the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), under the Protocol 
Additional to the Agreement between the United States of America and 
the International Atomic Energy Agency for the Application of 
Safeguards in the United States of America, with Annexes, signed at 
Vienna on June 12, 1998 (the ``U.S.-IAEA Additional Protocol''), and 
constitutes a report thereon, as required by section 271 of Public Law 
109-401. In accordance with section 273 of Public Law 109-401, I hereby 
certify that:
  (1) each site, location, facility, and activity included in the list 
has been examined by each department and agency with national security 
equities with respect to such site, location, facility, or activity; 
and
  (2) appropriate measures have been taken to ensure that information 
of direct national security significance will not be compromised at any 
such site, location, facility, or activity in connection with an IAEA 
inspection.
  The enclosed draft declaration lists each site, location, facility, 
and activity I intend to declare to the IAEA, and provides a detailed 
description of such sites, locations, facilities, and activities, and 
the provisions of the U.S.-IAEA Additional Protocol under which they 
would be declared. Each site, location, facility, and activity would be 
declared in order to meet the obligations of the United States of 
America with respect to these provisions.
  The IAEA classification of the enclosed declaration is ``Highly 
Confidential Safeguards Sensitive''; however, the United States regards 
this information as ``Sensitive but Unclassified.''
  Nonetheless, under Public Law 109-401, information reported to, or 
otherwise acquired by, the United States Government under this title or 
under the U.S.-IAEA Additional Protocol shall be exempt from disclosure 
under section 552 of title 5, United States Code.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, May 5, 2009.
