                Presidential Determination No. 99-20 of March 31, 1999

                
Drawdown of Articles and Services To Support 
                International Relief Efforts Relating to the Kosovo 
                Conflict

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State [and] the 
                Secretary of Defense

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 
                552(c)(2) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as 
                amended (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 up to $25 million in 
                commodities and services from the inventory and 
                resources of the Department of Defense to support 
                international relief efforts for Kosovar refugees.

                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.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, March 31, 1999.
