                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                By the authority vested in me as President by the

                America, including section 2(c)(1) of the Migration and

                (MRAA), I hereby determine, pursuant to section 2(c)(1) 
                of the MRAA, that it is important to the national 
                interest to furnish assistance under the MRAA in an 
                amount not to exceed $50 million from the United States 
                Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund for the 
                purpose of meeting unexpected urgent refugee and 
                migration needs resulting from the February 2023 
                earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, including through 
                contributions and other assistance to international and 
                nongovernmental organizations to provide humanitarian 
                assistance for refugees and internally displaced 
                persons affected by the earthquakes, including their 
                host communities, and through payment of administrative 
                expenses of the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and 
                Migration of the Department of State.

                You are authorized and directed to submit this 
                determination to the Congress, along with the 
                accompanying Justification, and to publish this
