Vice President Washington, D.C.

20501

Dear Mr. Fuerth:

During our meeting a few weeks ago before my trip to China, we discussed the need to obtain prompt Senate ratification of the pending Convention'on Nuclear Safety. The Convention will enter into force on October 24, with a critical meeting of the parties within six months of that date to define implementation I believe the Convention, which the United States signed in procedures.

September 1994, can'make an important contribution to enhancing nuclear safety worldwide.

The United States needs to ratify the Convention.this year or early next year 1

We also to play a role in how this important legal instrument will be shaped.

need to carry through on the President's commitment at the Moscow Safety Summit earlier this year to seek early ratification.

F L{

I hope this material will be useful to you. Do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything else I can do to help obtain prompt' action on the-Convention.

Sincerely, l

Shirley Ann Jackson l
