                to the Central African Republic and the Democratic 
                Republic of the Congo to allow for the provision of 
                International Military Education and Training (IMET) 
                and Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) assistance, to the 
                extent that the CSPA would restrict such assistance; to 
                waive in part the application of the prohibition in 
                section 404(a) of the CSPA with respect to Somalia and 
                Yemen to allow for the provision of IMET and PKO 
                assistance and support provided pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 
                333, to the extent that the CSPA would restrict such 
                assistance or support; to waive the application of the

                to allowing for the issuance of licenses for direct 
                commercial sales related to other United States 
                Government assistance for the above countries and, with 
                respect to Russia, solely for direct commercial sales 
                in connection with the International Space Station; and

                Certify that the governments of the above countries are 
                taking effective and continuing steps to address the 
                problem of child soldiers.

                Accordingly, I hereby waive such applications of
