JOINT RESOLUTION 
72 Stat. 277. 
42 u s e 2153. 
To waive certain provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 so as to permit 
the agreement for cooperation between the United States and France to be 
made immediately effective. 
Whereas on September 7, 1961, the President submitted to the Con-
gress pursuant to section 123 d. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 
a proposed agreement for cooperation between the Government of 
the United States of America and the Government of the French 
Republic, signed at Paris, July 27,1961; and 
Whereas section 123 d. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 provides in 
effect that such an agreement may not enter into force for the 
United States until sixty days have expired while the Congress is 
in session after the submission of the agreement, without adverse 
action thereon by the Congress; and 
Whereas it appears that the full sixty-day period will not have 
expired during this session of the Congress and that the proposed 
agreement, therefore, would not in the ordinary course of events 
be brought into force until Congress reconvenes; and 
Whereas the Congress is satisfied that the proposed agreement is 
within the scope of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, particularly 
sections 91c. (1) and 144 b.; and 
Whereas the proposed agreement is similar to the agreements for 
cooperation already in effect with the Federal Republic of Ger-
many, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey; and 
Whereas recent international developments warrant proceeding with 
such cooperation with France as expeditiously as possible; and 
Whereas the Congress recognizes that the early entry into force of 
this proposed agreement would contribute to the strength of the 
free world and thus enhance the common defense and security: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved hy the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the United 
coo^tration'^be- ^^^^^^ ^f AmeHca in Congress assembled^ That notwithstanding the 
t w e e n u. s. and provisious of sectiou 123 d. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, which 
France. 
provides for a sixty-day waiting period before agreements for co-
operation for mutual defense purposes may be made effective, the 
proposed agreement for cooperation between the Government of the 
United States of America and the Government of the French Repub-
lic, submitted on September 7,1961, by the President to the Congress, 
may be made effective at any time after the approval of this 
resolution.
