Memorandum for the Secretary of State

Subject: Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 2(c)(1) of the 
Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962, as Amended

    Pursuant to section 2(c)(1) of the Migration and Refugee Assistance 
Act of 1962, as amended, 22 U.S.C. 2601(c)(1), I hereby determine that 
it is important to the national interest to make up to $22 million from 
the U.S. Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund available to 
meet unexpected urgent refugee and migration needs, including those of 
refugees, displaced persons, conflict victims, and other persons at 
risk, due to crises in the Balkans and Nepal. These funds may be used, 
as appropriate, to provide contributions to international, governmental, 
and nongovernmental organizations and, as necessary, for administrative 
expenses of the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
    You are authorized and directed to inform the appropriate committees 
of the Congress of this determination and the obligation of funds under 
this authority, and to arrange for the publication of this memorandum in 
the Federal Register.
                                            William J. Clinton
