00:36In general, we're not the only country in the world that offers nuclear technology.
00:41And when countries decide they want to pursue a peaceful civil nuclear program, we'd prefer
00:46them do it with us than do it with some other country.
00:49It allows us to have influence over the direction that it goes.
00:52It allows us to make sure that there are safeguards in place, things of this nature.
00:56And in the case of Saudi Arabia, they've been an important strategic partner for us, so
00:59it would make sense for us to enter into such an agreement.
01:01But obviously the details of it, once it's released, you'll see it, you'll be able to
01:05understand it.
01:06And more importantly, it'll go through its congressional review process, which is a key part of this.
01:10And so there'll be a lot more questions answered at that time.
01:14I'll let the agreement speak for itself.
01:15Suffice it to say that any agreement that we're going to make with any country in the world
01:19on civil nuclear energy is going to be one that will have safeguards in place to ensure
01:23that it can't be turned into a weapons program.
01:25And one of the best safeguards is to make sure that American technology and American companies
01:29are the ones that are involved in doing it.
01:31If, on the other hand, a country pursues nuclear technology with another country, well, then
01:35we don't really control those safeguards.
01:37So, again, Saudi Arabia seeks to have a peaceful civil nuclear program.
01:43Other countries do as well.
01:44We have a similar agreement in place now with the UAE.
01:47And the U.S. companies are the world standard in providing that.
01:50Thank you very much.
02:31Thank you very much.
02:56Thank you very much.
