Documents / Official release
This Clinton Presidential Library file holds National Security Council records on Presidential Determination No. 96-54, signed around September 28 to 30, 1996. The Determination renewed for one year an exemption under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The exemption covers the Air Force's operating location near Groom Lake, Nevada, and applies to any requirement to disclose classified information, not to environmental standards. It was issued while the Kasza v. Browner and Frost v. Perry litigation was on appeal. Supporting memos from Anthony Lake, the Deputy Secretary of Defense and NSC staff recommend the renewal.
