                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                Consistent with the authority vested in me by section 
                2007 of the American Servicemembers' Protection Act of 
                2002, title II of Public Law 107-206 (22 U.S.C. 7421 et 
                seq.), I hereby determine that:

                (1) Gabon, the Gambia, Mongolia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, 
                and Tajikistan have each entered into an agreement with 
                the United States pursuant to Article 98 of the Rome 
                Statute preventing the International Criminal Court 
                from proceeding against U.S. personnel present in such 
                countries and waive the prohibition of section 2007(a) 
                of the American Servicemembers' Protection Act with 
                respect to these countries for as long as such 
                agreement remains in force;

                (2) it is important to the national interest of the 
                United States to waive, until November 1, 2003, the

                Afghanistan, Djibouti, Democratic Republic of Congo, 
                East Timor, Ghana, Honduras, and Romania, and waive 
                that prohibition with respect to these countries until 
                that date; and

                (3) it is important to the national interest of the 
                United States to waive, until January 1, 2004, the 
                prohibition of section 2007(a) with respect to Albania, 
                Bolivia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Botswana, Former Yugoslav

                these countries until that date. You are authorized and 
                directed to report this determination to the Congress, 
                and to arrange for its publication in the Federal 
                Register.
