Presidential Determination No. 92-47--Memorandum on Action in Support of 
Peacekeeping Operations in Nagorno-Karabakh
September 24, 1992

Memorandum for the Secretary of State,
the Secretary of Defense

Subject: Drawdown of Commodities and Services from the Inventory and 
Resources of the Department of Defense to Assist Peacekeeping Operations 
in Nagorno-Karabakh

    Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 552(c)(2) of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, 22 U.S.C. 2348a(c)(2) (the 
``Act''), I hereby determine that:
    (1) as a result of an unforeseen emergency, the provision of 
        assistance under Chapter 6 of Part II of the Act in amounts in 
        excess of funds otherwise available for such assistance is 
        important to the national interests of the United States; and
    (2) such unforeseen emergency requires the immediate provision of 
        assistance under Chapter 6 of Part II of the Act.
    I therefore direct the drawdown of commodities and services from the 
inventory and resources of the Department of Defense of an aggregate 
value not to exceed $2 million in support of peacekeeping operations in 
Nagorno-Karabakh.
    The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to report this 
determination to the Congress and to arrange for its publication in the 
Federal Register.

                                                             George Bush
