Delegation of Authority 229

    By virtue of the authority vested in me by the laws of the United 
States, including the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, the Arms Export 
Control Act, and the State Department Basic Authorities Act, and 
relevant delegations of authority, including the memorandum delegation 
signed by the President on November 4, 1997, and to the extent 
permitted by the law, I hereby delegate--
    (a) all authorities vested in the Secretary of State (including all 
authorities delegated by the President to the Secretary of State by an 
act, order, determination, delegation of authority, regulation or 
executive order heretofore or hereinafter enacted or issued) that have 
been or may be delegated or redelegated to the Under Secretary of State 
for Arms Control and International Security--
    (1) to John Holum for such period as he serves in the Department of 
State, except that, to the extent that such an authority derives from a 
delegation of authority from the President, this paragraph shall apply 
only to the extent that there is a statutory basis for delegating an 
authority to an individual with respect to whom the Senate has not 
provided advice and consent; and
    (2) to the Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military 
Affairs, for such functions as are within his area of responsibility, 
to the extent that such an authority derives from a delegation of 
authority from the President and the Office of the Legal Adviser has 
not identified a statutory basis for delegating the authority to an 
individual with respect to whom the Senate has not provided advice and 
consent; and
    (b) to the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and 
International Security all authorities that, before the effective date 
described in section 1201 of the Foreign Affairs Agencies consolidation 
Act of 1998 (the ``Act'') were vested in the Director of the United 
States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and that, pursuant to 
amendments made by the Act, are now vested in the Secretary of State.
    References in any previous delegations of authority to the Under 
Secretary for Arms Control and International Security Affairs shall 
hereinafter be deemed to be references to the Under Secretary for Arms 
Control and International Security except as specifically provided to 
the contrary.
    This delegation of authority shall be without prejudice to the 
authority of any person to exercise any authority pursuant to any other 
applicable delegation of authority. Paragraph (a) of this delegation of 
authority shall cease to be effective upon the appointment by the 
President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, of an individual 
to the position of Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and 
International Security. The Secretary or the Deputy Secretary may at 
any time exercise any of the functions described above.
    This delegation shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: March 30, 1999.
Madeleine Albright,
Secretary of State.
