                Presidential Determination No. 95-49 of September 28, 
                1995

                
Immigration Emergency Resulting From Alien 
                Smuggling by Organized Crime

                Memorandum for the Attorney General

                Recognizing that the smuggling of illegal aliens by 
                international organized crime syndicates creates 
                extraordinary concerns for United States law 
                enforcement and immigration authorities, the Congress 
                in 1994 appropriated $6,000,000 to the Immigration 
                Emergency Fund to cover costs associated with 
                repatriation of smuggled aliens.

                As determined by the Congress, the repatriation of 
                foreign nationals intercepted en route to the United 
                States is an activity that is appropriate for 
                reimbursement from the Immigration Emergency Fund.

                Accordingly, by virtue of the authority vested in me as 
                President by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, including section 404(b)(1) of the 
                Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 
                1101 note), I hereby:

                    Determine that an immigration emergency has been in 
                existence and continues to exist with respect to the 
                smuggling into the United States of illegal aliens by 
                international organized crime syndicates; and
                    Direct that up to $6,000,000 appropriated by the 
                Congress to the Immigration Emergency Fund be used to 
                cover costs associated with repatriation of foreign 
                nationals intercepted en route to the United States 
                when it appears that such persons are being smuggled by 
                international organized crime syndicates and to 
                reimburse the State Department and international 
                organizations for past and future costs incurred in 
                association with this purpose.

                You are authorized and directed to inform the 
                appropriate committees of the Congress of this 
                determination and the obligation of funds under this 
                authority and to publish it in the Federal Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, September 28, 1995.
