 Presidential Determination No. 2008-7

Memorandum for the Secretary of State

Subject: Waiver of Reimbursement Under the U.N. Participation Act to 
Support UNAMID Efforts in Darfur

    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and 
the laws of the United States of America, including section 10(d)(1) of 
the United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended (22 U.S.C. 
287e-2(d)(1)), I hereby determine that transfer to the United Nations/
African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) of camps and other items 
furnished as assistance for the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) 
and assistance required to preserve continuity of functions during the 
immediate transition from AMIS to UNAMID without reimbursement from the 
United Nations is important to the security interests of the United 
States.
    You are authorized and directed to report this determination to the 
Congress and to arrange for its publication in the Federal Register.
                                                George W. Bush
