                Presidential Determination No. 2000-27 of July 21, 2000

                
Determination To Authorize the Furnishing of 
                Emergency Military Assistance to the United Nations 
                Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL), Countries 
                Participating in UNAMSIL, and Other Countries Involved 
                in Peacekeeping Efforts or Affiliated Coalition 
                Operations With Respect to Sierra Leone

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

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 
                506(a)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as 
                amended, 22 U.S.C. 2318(a)(1)(A) (the ``Act''), I 
                hereby determine that:

(1)

an unforeseen emergency exists that requires immediate military assistance 
to UNAMSIL, countries currently or in the future participating in UNAMSIL, 
and other countries involved in peacekeeping efforts or affiliated 
coalition operations with respect to Sierra Leone, including the Government 
of Sierra Leone, and

(2)

the emergency requirement cannot be met under the authority of the Arms 
Export Control Act or any other law except section 506(a)(1) of the Act.

                I therefore direct the drawdown of defense articles 
                from the stocks of the Department of Defense, defense 
                services from the Department of Defense, and military 
                education and training of an aggregate value not to 
                exceed $18 million to UNAMSIL and such countries to 
                support peacekeeping efforts with respect to Sierra 
                Leone.

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

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, July 21, 2000.
