Executive Order 12840--Nuclear Cooperation With EURATOM

 March 9, 1993

    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and 
laws of the United States of America, including section 126a(2) of the 
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2155(a)(2)), and having 
determined that, upon the expiration of the period specified in the 
first proviso to section 126a(2) of such Act and extended for 12-month 
periods by Executive Orders Nos. 12193, 12295, 12351, 12409, 12463, 
12506, 12554, 12587, 12629, 12670, 12706, 12753, and 12791, failure to 
continue peaceful nuclear cooperation with the European Atomic Energy 
Community would be seriously prejudicial to the achievement of United 
States non-proliferation objectives and would otherwise jeopardize the 
common defense and security of the United States, and having notified 
the Congress of this determination, I hereby extend the duration of that 
period to March 10, 1994. Executive Order No. 12791 shall be superseded 
on the effective date of this Executive order.
                                            William J. Clinton
The White House,
