                Presidential Determination No. 2000-9 of December 23, 
                1999

                
Drawdown Under Section 506(a)(2) of the Foreign 
                Assistance Act of 1961, as Amended, To Provide 
                Emergency Disaster Relief Assistance to Venezuela

                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 and services from 
                the inventory and resources of the Department of 
                Defense, for the purpose of providing international 
                disaster relief assistance to Venezuela.

                I therefore direct the drawdown of up to $20 million of 
                articles and services from the inventory and resources 
                of the Department of Defense for the Government of 
                Venezuela for the purposes and under the authorities of 
                chapter 9 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, December 23, 1999.
