    Dear Mr. Speaker:
    Pursuant to Section 36(c) of the Arms Export Control Act, I am 
transmitting, herewith, certification of a proposed license for the 
export of defense articles or defense services sold commercially 
under a contract in the amount $50,000,000 or more.
    The transaction contained in the attached certification involves 
the export of one HS601 HP Galaxy IV-R Commercial Communications 
satellite to French Guiana for launch on an Ariane launch vehicle.
    The United States Government is prepared to license the export 
of these items having taken into account political, military, 
economic, human rights, and arms control considerations.
    More detailed information is contained in the formal 
certification which, though unclassified contains business

publication of which could cause competitive harm to the United 
States firm concerned.
