    Message to the Congress Certifying Exports to the People's Republic of
    China
    July 22, 2008

    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 22 accelerometers for
    incorporation into railway geometry measurement systems and one 20-inch
    fluid energy mill for production of nutritional supplements is not
    detrimental to the United States space launch industry, and that the
    material and equipment, including any indirect technical benefit that
    could be derived from such exports, will not measurably improve the
    missile or space launch capabilities of the People's Republic of China.

                                                              George W. Bush

     The White House,

     July 22, 2008.
