Scope and Content
The materials in FOIA 2012-1011-F are a selective body of documents responsive to the topic of the

On June 4, 2000, President Clinton and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the Memorandum of
Agreement Between the Government of the United States and the Government of the Russian Federation
on the Establishment of a Joint Center for the Exchange of Data from Early Warning Systems and
Notifications of Missile Launches. This memorandum, which was the first time the two nations had
agreed to a permanent joint military operation, was the result of a dialogue that had begun after an
incident several years earlier. In January 1995, a team of Norwegian and American scientists launched a
Black Brant XII rocket carrying equipment intended to study the aurora borealis. Because it resembled
a Trident missile at higher altitudes, and because its trajectory passed near Moscow, Russian nuclear
forces went on high alert before it was determined that the rocket did not pose a threat. In response, the
Clinton Administration and the Russian government negotiated the establishment of the Joint Data
Exchange Center (JDEC) as a means to avoid further incidents. Located in Moscow, the JDEC is
