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.
