Dear Ms. Wright:

License To Export Nuclear Material and Equipment and a copy of:-our existing license for your reference.

~5000 kg: limit of-the existing license and I thought-it made

-sense to submit a new request now-to avoid the rush we 1

experienced before..

'Also,.would you please send me another application,-Form 7, ifor my files?

Please let me know if.there is any problem with the application.
