Assignment of Functions Implementing the HELP 
                Commission Act

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State [and] the 
                Administrator of the United States Agency for 
                International Development

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and laws of the United States, including 
                section 301 of title 3, United States Code:

                1. The functions of the President under subsection 
                637(k) of the Commerce, Justice and State, the 
                Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 
                2004 (Division B, Public Law 108-199)(22 U.S.C. 
                2394b(k))(the ``Act'') are assigned to the Secretary of 
                State (Secretary).

                2. The Administrator of the United States Agency for 
                International Development shall provide support to 
                assist the Secretary in the performance of functions 
                assigned by this memorandum, and the heads of executive 
                departments and agencies with information concerning 
                assistance programs shall furnish promptly to the 
                Secretary, consistent with applicable law, such 
                information as the Secretary may request to assist in 
                fulfillment of these responsibilities for the 
                preparation of the report to which subsection 637 (k) 
                refers.

                3. The Secretary shall coordinate the receipt by 
                departments and agencies of requests from the HELP 
                Commission under section 637(e) of the Act for 
                information and their responses to such requests. Such 
                departments and agencies shall provide relevant 
                information and responses promptly. The Secretary shall 
                ensure that such responses occur in a manner consistent 
                with the President's constitutional authority to 
                withhold information that could impair foreign 
                relations, national security, the deliberate processes 
                of the Executive, or the performance of the Executive's 
                constitutional duties.

                4. Heads of executive departments and agencies shall 
                assist the Secretary in the implementation of this 
                memorandum.

                5. The Secretary is authorized and directed to publish 
                this memorandum in the Federal Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
