                Presidential Determination No. 2013-06 of February 11, 
                2013

                
Drawdown Under Section 506(a)(1) of the Foreign 
                Assistance Act of 1961, as Amended, for Chad and France 
                To Support Their Efforts in Mali

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State [and] the 
                Secretary of Defense

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 
                506(a)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as 
                amended, 22 U.S.C. 2318(a)(1) (the ``Act''), I hereby 
                determine that an unforeseen emergency exists that 
                requires immediate military assistance to Chad and 
                France in their efforts to secure Mali from terrorists 
                and violent extremists. I further determine that these 
                requirements cannot be met under the authority of the 
                Arms Export Control Act or any other provision of law.

                I, therefore, direct the drawdown of up to $50 million 
                in defense services of the Department of Defense for 
                these purposes and under the authorities of section 
                506(a)(1) of the Act.

                The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to 
                report this determination to the Congress, arrange for 
                its publication in the Federal Register, and coordinate 
                the implementation of this drawdown.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, February 11, 2013.
