MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE

THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

  SUBJECT:       Drawdown of Commodities and Services from the 
                 Inventory and Resources of the Department of 
                 Defense to Support the Establishment of the 
                 Palestinian Police Force

Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 552(c)(2) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, 22 U.S.C. 2348a(c)(2) (the "Act"), I hereby determine that:

       (1)  as a result of an unforeseen emergency, the provision 
            of assistance under Chapter 6 of Part II of the Act 
            in amounts in excess of funds otherwise available for 
            such assistance is important to the national interests 
            of the United States; and
  
       (2)  such unforeseen emergency requires the immediate 
            provision of assistance under Chapter 6 of Part II 
            of the Act.

I therefore direct the drawdown of commodities and services from the inventory and resources of the Department of Defense of an aggregate value not to exceed $4 million to Israel for use by the Palestinian police pursuant to the Palestinian-Israeli Declaration of Principles of September 13, 1993, and its implementing agreements.

The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to report this determination to the Congress and to arrange for its publication in the Federal Register.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON
