    Agreement

    June 23, 1999

    Presidential Determination No. 99-30

    Memorandum for the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Energy

    Subject: Presidential Determination on the Proposed Protocol Amending
    the Agreement for Cooperation Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy
    Between the Government of the United States of America and the
    Government of Canada

        I have considered the proposed Protocol Amending the Agreement for
    Cooperation Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy Between the
    Government of the United States of America and the Government of Canada
    signed at Washington on June 15, 1955, as amended, 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. Pursuant to section 123b. 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.
