Memorandum for the Secretary of State

The Secretary of the Treasury

The Secretary of Defense

The Attorney General


Subject: Drawdown of the Commodities and Services from the Inventory and 
Resources of the Departments of Defense, Justice, Treasury and State to 
Support Accelerated Training and Equipping of Haitian Police Forces


    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 unseen 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 Departments of Defense, Justice, Treasury 
and State of an aggregate value not to exceed $7.0 million to support 
accelerated training, equipping and deployment of Haitian police forces.
    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
