Documents / Official release
This Clinton Presidential Library file holds National Security Council tracking records and a January 30, 1997 memorandum from the Deputy Secretary of Defense to President Clinton. The memorandum recommends that the President report to Congress, under section 6001(a) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the exemption he granted in Presidential Determination 96-54 of September 1996. That exemption protects classified information about the Air Force's operating location near Groom Lake, Nevada. The file also contains draft letters to Speaker Newt Gingrich and Senate President Albert Gore, Jr., and the Federal Register text of the determination, which cites Kasza v. Browner.
