                Presidential Determination No. 2000-17 of March 2, 2000

                
Drawdown Under Section 506(a)(2) of the Foreign 
                Assistance Act of 1961, as Amended, To Provide 
                Emergency Disaster Assistance in Southern Africa

                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 assistance to Southern Africa, including 
                Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.

                Therefore, I direct the drawdown of up to $37.6 million 
                of articles and services from the inventory and 
                resources of the Department of Defense for Southern 
                Africa, including Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, 
                and Botswana 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, March 2, 2000.
