                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                Pursuant to section 404 of the Child Soldiers

                of the prohibition in section 404(a) of the CSPA with 
                respect to Chad, South Sudan, and Yemen; to waive in 
                part the application of the prohibition in section 
                404(a) of the CSPA with respect to the Democratic 
                Republic of the Congo to allow for continued provision 
                of International Military Education and Training (IMET) 
                and nonlethal Excess Defense Articles, and the issuance 
                of licenses for direct commercial sales of nonlethal 
                defense articles; and to waive in part the application 
                of the prohibition in section 404(a) of the CSPA with 
                respect to Somalia to allow for the issuance of 
                licenses for direct commercial sales of nonlethal
