                         of the United States of America and the

I have considered the proposed Agreement for Cooperation Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the People’s Republic of China Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy (the “Agreement”), along with the views, recommendations, and statements of the interested departments and agencies.

The Secretary of State is authorized to publish this determination in the Federal Register.
