Dear Mr. Helfrich:

Enclosed please fi~i an application from the Department of the Navy for a license to export depleted uranium to Saudi Arabia to be used as penetrators in ammunition. The armiunition will be deployed atoard Saudi Arabian Naval vessels.

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

Sincerely, i

(
