Memorandum on Assistance to the Palestinian
Police Force
(March 16, 1995)
Presidential Determination No. 95-17
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
Activities 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 $5 million to provide and transport
200 vehicles and concurrent spare parts to Israel for use by the Palestinian
police force.
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
