 PURSUANT TO 22 U.S.C. 2321k(a); PUBLIC LAW 87-195, SEC. 517 (AS ADDED

    May 23, 2024.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the 
         Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed
To the Congress of the United States:
    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 Kenya as a Major Non-NATO 
Ally.
    I am making this designation in recognition of Kenya's many 
years of contributions to the United States Africa Command area 
of responsibility and globally and in recognition of our own 
national interest in deepening bilateral defense and security 
cooperation with the Government of Kenya. Kenya is one of the 
United States Government's top counterterrorism and security 
partners in sub-Saharan Africa, and the designation will 
demonstrate that the United States sees African contributions 
to global peace and security as equivalent to those of our 
Major Non-Nato Allies in other regions. I appreciate the 
support of the Congress in this action.

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
    The White House, May 23, 2024.
