This 1995 Clinton Presidential Library file contains Presidential Determination No. 95-45, signed by President Clinton on September 29, 1995, and its supporting papers. The determination exempts the Air Force's operating location near Groom Lake, Nevada, from any hazardous waste law requirement to disclose classified information, following the lawsuits Kasza v. Browner and Frost v. Perry. The file also includes Air Force Secretary Sheila Widnall's unclassified declaration invoking the military and state secrets privilege, along with recommendation memos from Widnall, Deputy Secretary of Defense White and Anthony Lake.
