December 19, 2000

 Presidential Determination No. 2001-07

Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Treasury

Subject: Presidential Certification to Waive Application of Restrictions 
on Assistance to the Government of Serbia and the Government 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 
subsections 1511(b) and (c) 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 provisions 
apply to the furnishing of assistance to the Government of Serbia and to 
the support of assistance from international financial institutions to 
the Government of Serbia and the Government of Montenegro.
    Therefore, I hereby waive the application of these provisions with 
respect to such assistance and support. The Secretary of Defense is 
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

Note: This memorandum was released by the Office of the Press Secretary 
on December 20.
