Payment for the Purchase of Highly Enriched Uranium from Russia


                        Presidential Documents 


                Presidential Determination No. 94-19 of March 25, 1994

 

Authorization to Make an Advance Payment for the 
                Purchase of Highly Enriched Uranium from Russia

                Memorandum for the Secretary of the Treasury [and] the 
                Chair of the Board of Directors of the United States 
                Enrichment Corporation

                On February 18, 1993, the Government of the United 
                States and the Government of the Russian Federation 
                entered into an agreement to arrange the safe and 
                prompt disposition for peaceful purposes of highly 
                enriched uranium extracted from nuclear weapons as a 
                result of the reduction of nuclear weapons in 
                accordance with existing agreements in the area of arms 
                control and disarmament. On January 14, 1994, the 
                United States Enrichment Corporation, as Executive 
                Agent of the United States, entered into the initial 
                implementing contract pursuant to the February 18, 
                1993, agreement for the purchase of low-enriched 
                uranium derived from highly enriched uranium extracted 
                from nuclear weapons.

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the 
                Constitution and section 3324(b)(2) of title 31 of the 
                United States Code, and having decided that an advance 
                of public money is necessary to carry out both the 
                duties of the disbursing official promptly and 
                faithfully and the obligation of the United States 
                Government pursuant to the initial implementing 
                contract executed on January 14, 1994, I authorize an 
                advance of public money to be made to the disbursing 
                official for the purpose of providing payment to the 
                Government of the Russian Federation or its designated 
                agent, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 
                initial implementing contract.

                The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and 
                directed to publish this determination in the Federal 
                Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)>


                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, March 25, 1994.
