Presidential Determination No. 2009-7

I have considered the proposed Agreement for Cooperation Between the
Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United
Arab Emirates Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy, along with the
views, recommendations, and statements of the interested agencies.

I have determined that the performance of the Agreement will promote, and
will not constitute an unreasonable risk to, the common defense and
security. Pursuant to section 123 b. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 2153(b)), I hereby approve the proposed Agreement and
authorize the Secretary of State to arrange for its execution.

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

GEORGE W. BUSH
