                Republic of the Congo to allow for provision of 
                Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) assistance, to the extent 
                the CSPA would restrict such assistance or support; to 
                waive the application of the prohibition in section 
                404(a) of the CSPA with respect to Somalia to allow for 
                the provision of International Military Education and 
                Training assistance, PKO assistance, and support

                waive the application of the prohibition in section 
                404(a) of the CSPA with respect to South Sudan to allow 
                for PKO assistance, to the extent the CSPA would 
                restrict such assistance or support. Accordingly, I 
                hereby waive such applications of section 404(a) of the 
                CSPA.
