                                      Washington, January 31, 2022.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Madam Speaker: In accordance with section 517 of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (22 U.S.C. 2321k), I 
am providing notice of my intent to designate Qatar as a Major 
Non-NATO Ally.
    I am making this designation in recognition of Qatar's many 
years of contributions to U.S.-led efforts in the U.S. Central 
Command area of responsibility and in recognition of our own 
national interest in deepening bilateral defense and security 
cooperation with the State of Qatar.
            Sincerely,
                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

                                  [all]
