                Presidential Determination No. 99-23 of May 18, 1999

                
Determination Pursuant to Section 2(c)(1) of the 
                Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962, as 
                Amended

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                Pursuant to section 2(c)(1) of the Migration and 
                Refugee Assistance Act of 1962, as amended, 22 U.S.C. 
                2601(c)(1), I hereby determine that it is important to 
                the national interest that up to $15 million be made 
                available from the U.S. Emergency Refugee and Migration 
                Assistance Fund to meet urgent and unexpected 
                humanitarian requirements associated with the Kosovo 
                crisis.

                These funds will be used to meet the urgent and 
                unexpected needs of refugees, displaced persons, 
                victims of conflict, and other persons at risk due to 
                the Kosovo crisis. These funds may be used, as 
                appropriate, to provide contributions to governmental, 
                international, and nongovernmental organizations. As 
                necessary, funds will also support requirements 
                associated with the U.S. program to provide refuge in 
                the United States for up to 20,000 Kosovar refugees, 
                and for administrative expenses of the Bureau of 
                Population, Refugees, and Migration.

                You are authorized and directed to inform the 
                appropriate committees of the Congress of this 
                determination and the use of funds under this 
                authority, and to arrange for the publication of this 
                determination in the Federal Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, May 18, 1999.
