                Presidential Determination No. 94-36 of July 19, 1994

 

Food Security Wheat Reserve Release

                Memorandum for the Secretary of Agriculture

                By virtue of the authority vested in me as President by 
                the Food Security Wheat Reserve Act of 1980 (the 
                ``Act'') (7 U.S.C. 1736f-1), I hereby authorize the 
                release in fiscal year 1994 of up to 200,000 metric 
                tons of wheat from the reserve established under the 
                Act (the ``reserve'') for use under Title II of the 
                Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 
                1954 to meet relief needs that exist in the Caucasus 
                region of the former Soviet Union, which I hereby 
                determine are suffering severe food shortages. The 
                wheat will be used to provide urgent humanitarian 
                relief to the peoples in this region who are suffering 
                widespread hunger and malnutrition.

                This action is taken because wheat needed for relief in 
                this region cannot be programmed for such purpose in a 
                timely manner under the normal means of obtaining 
                commodities for food assistance due to circumstances of 
                unanticipated and exceptional need.

                You are authorized and directed to publish this 
                determination in the Federal Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)>


                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, July 19, 1994.
