                Presidential Determination No. 96-57 of September 30, 
                1996

                
Drawdown of Articles, Services, and Military 
                Education and Training from DOD To Provide 
                Antinarcotics Assistance to Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, 
                and the Countries of the Eastern Caribbean

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State [and] the 
                Secretary of Defense

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 
                506(a)(2) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as 
                amended, 22 U.S.C. 2318(a)(2) (``the Act''), I hereby 
                determine that it is in the national interest of the 
                United States to draw down articles, services, and 
                military education and training from the inventory and 
                resources of the Department of Defense for the purpose 
                of providing antinarcotics assistance to Colombia, 
                Venezuela, Peru, and the countries of the Eastern 
                Caribbean Regional Security System (RSS), which are: 
                Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St. 
                Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the 
                Grenadines.

                Therefore, I direct the drawdown in FY 1996 authority 
                of up to $75 million of articles, services, and 
                military education and training from the Department of 
                Defense for such countries for the purposes and under 
                the authorities of Chapter 8 of Part I of the Act.

                The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to 
                report this determination to the Congress immediately 
                and to arrange for its publication in the Federal 
                Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, September 30, 1996.
