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

unexpected urgent refugee and migration needs, including those of refugees,
displaced persons, conflict victims, and other persons at risk, due to

to provide contributions to international, governmental, and
nongovernmental organizations and, as necessary, for administrative
expenses of the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
You are authorized and directed to inform the appropriate committees of the
Congress of this determination and the obligation of funds under this
authority, and to arrange for the publication of this memorandum in the
Federal Register.
