To the Congress of the United States: 

On May 13, 2008, I transmitted a message to the Congress transmitting the text of a proposed Agreement for Cooperation Between 

the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Russian Federation for Cooperation in the Field of 

Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy (the ‘‘proposed Agreement’’), pursuant to sections 123b. and 123d. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 

as amended (42 U.S.C. 2153(b), (d)) (the ‘‘Act’’). 

In view of recent actions by the Government of the Russian Federation incompatible with peaceful relations with its sovereign and 

democratic neighbor Georgia, I have determined that the determination regarding the proposed Agreement in Presidential Determination 2008–19 is no longer effective. Accordingly, a statutory 

prerequisite for the proposed Agreement to become effective, as required by section 123b. of the Act, is no longer satisfied. If circumstances should permit future reconsideration of the proposed 

Agreement, a new determination will be made and the proposed 

Agreement will be submitted for congressional review pursuant to 

section 123 of the Act. 

GEORGE W. BUSH. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, September 8, 2008.
