Presidential Determination

Certification of Jordan Under Section 130(c) of the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985

This presidential determination certifies Jordan as publicly committed to recognizing Israel and negotiating under UN Resolutions 242 and 338, satisfying a statutory precondition for a proposed $87 million sale of six UH-60L Black Hawk helicopters to Jordan. The certification enables the arms sale notification to proceed to Congress, while the attached justification notes the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty already fulfills this requirement and states intent to seek repeal of the statutory certification requirement.
