Joint Resolution 
Permitting the supply of additional low enriched uranium fuel under international 
agreements for cooperation in the civil uses of nuclear energy, and for other

Whereas the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978 uiges the 
United States to provide a reliable supply of nuclear fuel to those

Act should be able to continue to supply low-enriched uranium 
fuel to njations that have entered into good faith negotiations as 
called for in section 404(a) of the Act; and 
Whereas pending such negotiations, limitations now contained in 
certain agreements for cooperation on the amount of low-
enriched uraniiun which may be supplied thereunder are insuffi-
cient to permit adequate assurance of suppUes: Now, therefore, 
belt 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of 
America in Congress assembled. 
SECTION 1. Limits contained in agreements for cooperation on the 
amount of low-enriched uranium which may be transferred by or

construed to preclude transfer or export of amounts of low-enriched 
uranium in excess of such limits to nations which are parties to the 
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
Nuclear Weapons. 
SEC. 2. (a) The terms used in this joint resolution shall have the 
meanings ascribed to them by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and by 
the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978. 
(b) The term "low-enriched uraniiun" means uranium enriched to 
less than 20 per centum in the isotope 235.

Designating the week beginning June 22, 1980, as "National Athletic Boosters

Whereas athletic programs are a vital means of keeping youth in

of many problems including inflation and the reorientation of 
programs to equalize programs for boys and girls; 
Where£is to offset this growing crisis, school and community organi-
zations across the Nation have been formed and have been ex-
tremely effective in boosting and encouraging athletic programs; 
Whereas thousands of volunteer members learn how to work effec-
tively in supporting athletic programs; and 
Whereas there is a rising movement across the Nation to under-
take support of these programs: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the week beginning
