Administrator, U.S. Agency for International Development

Determination Consistent with Section 620(q) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and Section 512 of the FY 2002 and 2003 Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Acts

President Bush determined that providing foreign assistance to Liberia is in the U.S. national interest and waived statutory restrictions under Section 620(q) of the Foreign Assistance Act and Section 512 of FY 2002-2003 appropriations acts that would otherwise prohibit such aid. The Secretary of State must report this determination to Congress and arrange for Federal Register publication.
