    Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws 
of the United States, including section 534(j) of the Foreign 
Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 
2006 (the ``Act'')(Public Law 109-102), as carried forward under the

5)(the ``Continuing Resolution''), and Public Law 107-57, as amended, I 
hereby determine and certify, with respect to Pakistan, that a waiver of 
section 508 of the Act, as carried forward under the Continuing 
Resolution:
 (a)         would facilitate the transition to democratic rule in 
            Pakistan; and
 (b)         is important to United States efforts to respond to, deter, 
            or prevent acts of international terrorism.
    Accordingly, I hereby waive, with respect to Pakistan, section 508 
of such Act, as carried forward by the Continuing Resolution.
    You are authorized and directed to transmit this determination to 
the Congress and to publish it in the Federal Register.
