Memorandum for the Secretary of State

Subject: Waiver of Sanctions for the Export of Select U.S. Munitions 
List U.S.-Origin Helicopter and Armored Personnel Carrier Spare Parts 
and Ammunition from the United States to Pakistan

    Pursuant to the authority vested in me as President of the United 
States, and consistent with Title IX of the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 2000 (Public Law 106-79), I hereby waive the 
application of the restrictions contained in sections 101 and 102 of the 
Arms Export Control Act, as they have been applied under the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and determine and certify to 
the Congress that the application of such restrictions would not be in 
the national security interests of the United States:

       With respect to Pakistan, insofar as such restriction would 
      otherwise apply to the sale of certain specified U.S.-origin 
      helicopter and armored personnel carrier spare parts and 
      ammunition to Pakistan for use in its deployment in Sierra Leone 
      in support of UN peacekeeping operations.

    You are authorized and directed to transmit this determination and 
certification to the appropriate committees of the Congress and to 
arrange for its publication in the Federal Register.
                                                George W. Bush
