This Clinton Presidential Library file contains White House and National Security Council records from January 1997. They cover the President's annual report to Congress under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act about Presidential Determination 96-54 of September 28, 1996. That determination exempted the Air Force operating location near Groom Lake, Nevada, from waste disposal laws that would require disclosure of classified information, in connection with the Kasza v. Browner and Frost v. Perry litigation. The file includes the letters to Speaker Gingrich and Vice President Gore.
