                Memorandum of August 29, 2003

                
Assistance for Voluntary Population Planning

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                On March 28, 2001, I issued a memorandum for the 
                Administrator of the United States Agency for 
                International Development (USAID) directing that 
                certain conditions be placed on assistance for family 
                planning activities provided to foreign nongovernmental 
                organizations by USAID.

                Because family planning grants are awarded by the 
                Department of State outside of USAID as well as through 
                USAID, you are hereby directed to extend the 
                requirements of the March 28, 2001, memorandum to all 
                assistance for voluntary population planning furnished 
                to foreign nongovernmental organizations and 
                appropriated pursuant to the Foreign Assistance Act, 
                whether such assistance is furnished by USAID or any 
                other bureau, office, or component of the Department of 
                State.

                As set forth in the March 28, 2001, memorandum, this 
                policy applies to certain assistance provided to 
                foreign nongovernmental organizations. Such 
                organizations do not include multilateral organizations 
                that are associations of governments. This policy shall 
                not apply to foreign assistance furnished pursuant to 
                the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, 
                Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-
                25).

                The foregoing directive is issued consistent with the 
                authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of 
                the United States of America, including sections 104 
                and 104A of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as 
                amended.

                You are authorized and directed to publish this 
                memorandum in the Federal Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, August 29, 2003.
