MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE
SUBJECT: Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 2(c)(1) of
the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962, as Amended
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 that up to $33 million be made
available from the U.S. Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund
to meet the unexpected urgent refugee and migration needs, including
those of refugees, displaced persons, conflict victims, and other persons
at risk, due to crises in Guinea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
Afghanistan, the North Caucasus, Serbia, and the Middle East. These
funds may be used, as appropriate, to provide contributions to
international, governmental, and non-governmental organizations. I
understand that you will be forwarding a separate request to meet
requirements for refugee assistance in Bosnia and Croatia.
You are authorized and directed to inform the appropriate committees of
the Congress of this determination and the use of funds under this
authority, and to arrange for the publication of this determination in
the Federal Register.
WILLIAM J. CLINTON
