    Cooperation Between the Government of the United States of America and

    Nuclear Energy
    October 10, 2003

    Memorandum for the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Energy

    Subject: Proposed Protocol Amending the Agreement for Cooperation
    Between the Government of the United States of America and the
    Government of the Republic of Indonesia Concerning Peaceful Uses of
    Nuclear Energy

        I have considered the proposed Protocol Amending the Agreement for
    Cooperation Between the Government of the United States of America and
    the Government of the Republic of Indonesia Concerning Peaceful Uses of
    Nuclear Energy, signed at Washington on June 30, 1980, along with the
    views, recommendations, and statements of the interested agencies.
        I have determined that the performance of the Protocol will promote,
    and will not constitute an unreasonable risk to, the common defense and
    security. Consistent with section 123 b. of the Atomic Energy Act of
    1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2153(b)), I hereby approve the proposed
    Protocol and authorize you to arrange for its execution.

                                                              George W. Bush
