                Presidential Determination No. 97-38 of September 30, 
                1997

                
Drawdown Under Section 506(a)(2) of the Foreign 
                Assistance Act To Provide Counternarcotics Assistance 
                to Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, and the Countries of the 
                Eastern Caribbean

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

                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 and services from 
                the inventory and resources of the Department of 
                Defense, military education and training from the 
                Department of Defense, and articles and services from 
                the inventory and resources of the Department of 
                Transportation for the purpose of providing 
                international narcotics assistance to Colombia, 
                Venezuela, Peru, and the countries of the Eastern 
                Caribbean Regional Security System (RSS), including: 
                Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St. 
                Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the 
                Grenadines.

                Therefore, I direct the drawdown of up to $20 million 
                of articles and services from the inventory and 
                resources of the Departments of Defense and 
                Transportation, and military education and training 
                from the Department of Defense, for the Governments of 
                Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, and the countries of the 
                RSS, 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,
