waiver. Initiating authorities are instructed to obtain the views of 
the Departments of State, Defense, Commerce and Treasury as to whether

the Pakistani MOD are within the scope of the waiver and include those 
interagency views in their submission to the Under Secretary of State 
for Arms Control and International Security, who will make the final 
determination as to whether the proposed licenses or contracts are 
within the scope of the waiver.
