TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:

In accordance with the provisions of section 1512 of the Strom Thurmond
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (Public Law
105-261), I hereby certify that the export of 22 accelerometers for
incorporation into railway geometry measurement systems and one 20-inch
fluid energy mill for production of nutritional supplements is not
detrimental to the United States space launch industry, and that the
material and equipment, including any indirect technical benefit that could
be derived from such exports, will not measurably improve the missile or
space launch capabilities of the People's Republic of China.

GEORGE W. BUSH

THE WHITE HOUSE,

July 22, 2008.
