transmittal package for the additional protocol to the U.S.lInternational Atomic
Energy Agency Safeguards Agreement. There was concern by the working group
that the additional protocol was being submitted to the Senate for advice and
consent before adequate measures have been developed forapplication oftbe
national security exclusion and managed access. Further, the process for
notification of an inspection authorized under the additional protocol has not yet
been established. Based on these security concerns, the Office ofDefense Nuclear
Security is developing a draft Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for use in the
interagency that specifies roles and responsibilities in these areas of concern. The
MOA will need to be finalized before the Department can agree to forward the
additional protocol to the Senate.
