Plain-language summary
Under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, extends until March 10, 1995, the period during which the United States may continue peaceful nuclear cooperation with the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM). The order states that ending such cooperation would harm U.S. non-proliferation goals and national defense and security, and notes that Congress has been notified of this determination. It supersedes the previous extension, Executive Order 12840, which had set an earlier deadline, continuing a series of annual extensions dating back to Executive Order 12193.

Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action or a cited precedent. An order with no such record is described as untested, never as likely or unlikely to survive.

Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.
