Summary

This order extends the period authorizing peaceful nuclear cooperation with the European Atomic Energy Community until December 31, 1995 and replaces Executive Order 12903 on its effective date.

The extension affects United States government programs that manage nuclear cooperation with European partners and notifies Congress of the determination. The order explains that ending cooperation would harm United States nonproliferation goals and could jeopardize the nation's common defense and security, so the extension preserves those arrangements.
