                Presidential Determination No. 2003-40 of September 24, 
                2003

                
Waiving Prohibition on United States Military 
                Assistance to Parties to the Rome Statute Establishing 
                the International Criminal Court

                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) Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 
                Georgia, and Honduras 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; and
                    (2) it is important to the national security 
                interest of the United States to waive, for a period of 
                6 months from the date of this determination, the 
                prohibition of section 2007(a) with respect to Guinea, 
                and waive that prohibition with respect to this country 
                for that period.

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

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, September 24, 2003.
