Documents / Official release
This Clinton Presidential Library file holds National Security Council tracking sheets and a January 30, 1997 memorandum from the Deputy Secretary of Defense to President Clinton. The memo 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 determination exempts the Air Force's operating location near Groom Lake, Nevada, from waste laws that could require disclosure of classified information. Draft letters to Speaker Gingrich and Vice President Gore and the Federal Register notice are attached.
