    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 of the United States that up to

Migration Assistance Fund to address unexpected urgent refugee and 
migration needs, including those of refugees, displaced persons,

funds may be used, as appropriate, to provide contributions to 
international, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations.
    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
