                Presidential Determination No. 97-12 of December 11, 
                1996

                
Drawdown of Commodities and Services From the 
                Inventory and Resources of the Department of Defense To 
                Support a Peace Monitoring Force in Northern Iraq

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

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me by sections 
                552(c)(2) and 614(a)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act 
                of 1961, as amended, 22 U.S.C. 2348a(c)(2) and 
                2364(a)(1) (the ``Act''), I hereby determine that:

                    (1) as a result of an unforeseen emergency, the 
                provision of assistance under Chapter 6 of Part II of 
                the Act in amounts in excess of funds otherwise 
                available for such assistance is important to the 
                national interests of the United States;
                    (2) an unforeseen emergency requires the immediate 
                provision of assistance under Chapter 6 Part II of the 
                Act; and
                    (3) it is important to the security interests of 
                the United States to furnish up to $4 million of 
                commodities and services from the inventory of the 
                Department of Defense to support a Peace Monitoring 
                Force in northern Iraq, without regard to any provision 
                of law within the scope of section 614(a)(1) of the 
                Act, including various restrictions on providing 
                assistance to Iraq.

                I therefore direct the drawdown of commodities and 
                services from the inventory and resources of the 
                Department of Defense of an aggregate value not to 
                exceed $4 million to support a Peace Monitoring Force 
                in northern Iraq.

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

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, December 11, 1996.
