Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Representatwes 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled^ That subsection 
123 d. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, is revised to read 
as follows: 
"d. The proposed agreement for cooperation, together with the 
approval and determination of the President, if arranged pursuant to 
subsection 91 c, 144 b., or 144 c, or if entailing implementation of 
sections 53, 54, 103, or 104 in relation to a reactor that may be capable 
of producing more than five thermal megawatts or special nuclear 
material for use in connection therewith, has been submitted to the 
Congress and referred to the Joint Committee and a period of sixty 
days has elapsed while Congress is in session (in computing such sixty 
days, there shall be excluded the days on which either House is not in 
session because of an adjournment of more than three days), but any 
such proposed agreement for cooperation shall not become effective if 
during such sixty-day period the Congress passes a concurrent resolu-
tion stating in substance that it does not favor the proposed agree-
ment for cooperation: Provided, That prior to the elapse of the first 
thirty days of any such sixty-day period the Joint Committee shall 
submit a report to the Congress of its views and recommendations 
respecting the proposed agreement and an accompanying proposed 
concurrent resolution stating in substance that the Congress favors, or 
does not favor, as the case may be, the proposed agreement for cooper-
ation. Any such concurrent resolution so reported shall become the 
pending business of the House in question (in the case of the Senate 
the time for debate shall be equally divided between the proponents 
and the opponents) within twenty-five days and shall be voted on 
within five calendar days thereafter, unless such House shall otherwise 
determine.". 
SEC. 2. This Act shall apply to proposed agreements for cooperation 
and to proposed amendments to agreements for cooperation hereafter 
submitted to the Congress. 
Approved October 26, 1974.
