MAR 2 01980 Mr. G.F. Helfrich, Director Office of Program Implementation Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs U.S. Department of State Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Helfrich:

Enclosed please find an application from the Coordination Council for North American Affairs for a license to export 4,000 kilograms of heavy water to Taiwan for use in the Taiwan Research Reactor (TRR).

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 comon defense and security, and whether the proposed export meets the applicable criteria in the Atomic Energy Act as amended by the Nuclear Nonpro-liferation Act of 1978.

The application refers to a project requiring 8.5 metric tons of heavy water which has been cancelled.

As we believe this may refer to pending license application XMAT0003, we have requested Mr. Reuter of Tech Aid, Inc. to detennine the status of his pending order.

Sincerely,

% s h, 8 4-
