                1998

                
Drawdown Under Section 506(a)(2)(A)(i)(II) of the 
                Foreign Assistance Act To Provide Emergency Disaster 
                Relief Assistance for Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador,

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

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 
                506(a)(2)(A)(i)(II) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
                1961, as amended (``the Act''), 22 U.S.C. 2318(a)(2), I 
                hereby determine that it is in the national interest of 
                the United States to draw down articles and services 
                from the inventory and resources of the Department of 
                Defense, for the purpose of providing international 
                disaster relief assistance to Honduras, Nicaragua, El 
                Salvador, and Guatemala.

                Therefore, I direct the drawdown of up to $45 million 
                of articles and services from the inventory and 
                resources of the Department of Defense for the 
                Governments of Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and 
                Guatemala for the purposes and under the authorities of 
                chapter 9 of part I of the Act.

                The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to 
                report this determination to the Congress immediately 
                and to arrange for its publication in the Federal 
                Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, November 14, 1998.
