Dear Mr. Tarnoff:

Enclosed please find an application from the U.S. representative of the Italian National Electrical Energy Company (ENEL) recuesting a license to export 20,000 metric tons of U.S. origin depleted uranium to France for enrichment at EURODIF's Tricastin uranium enrichment facilities for eventual use as LEU fuel for reactors located in the European Connunity. For your information, we are transmitting a letter dated May 17, 1979 from Mr. Remondino which provides further details of the ENEL proposal.

Before taking action on this license application, we would appreciate your views, in accordance with established procedures and from the overall perspective of the Executive Branch, as to whether the issuance of the requested license would be inimical to the common interests of the. United States, including the common defense and security, and whether the proposed export meets the applicable criteria in the Atomic Energy Act as amended by the Nuclear Nonproliferation Act of 1978.

Sincerely, E^#

-> Lee V. Gossick Executive Director for Operations
