Presidential Determination No. 94-21
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 Support the Establishment of
the Palestinian Police Force
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.
[[Page 654]]
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 $4 million to Israel for use by the Palestinian
police pursuant to the Palestinian-Israeli Declaration of Principles of
September 13, 1993, and its implementing agreements.
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.
William J. Clinton
