Memorandum on Waiver of Prohibition on Assistance to the Republic of 
Montenegro

February 16, 1999

Presidential Determination No. 99-14

Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense

Subject: Presidential Certification to Waive Prohibition on Assistance 
to the Republic of Montenegro

    Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the laws of the United 
States, including section 1511 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160), I hereby certify to the 
Congress that I have determined that the waiver of the application of 
the prohibition in section 1511(b) of Public Law 103-160 is necessary to 
achieve a negotiated settlement of the conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina 
that is acceptable to the parties, to the extent that such provision 
applies to the furnishing of assistance to the Republic of Montenegro.
    Therefore, I hereby waive the application of this provision with 
respect to such assistance.
    You are authorized and directed to transmit a copy of this 
determination to the Congress and arrange for its publication in the 
Federal Register.
                                            William J. Clinton
