Memorandum for the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the 
Secretary of the Treasury, the Administrator, United States Agency for 
International Development

Subject: Determination to Make Available Assistance for Liberia

    Consistent with the authority vested in me under the Act Making 
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Defense and for the 
Reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan, 2004 (Public Law 108-106), under 
the heading ``International Disaster and Famine Assistance,'' I hereby 
determine that it is in the national interest and essential to efforts 
to reduce international terrorism to furnish $86 million in assistance 
for Liberia from funds made available under that heading.
    The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to report this 
determination to the Congress and to arrange for its publication in the 
Federal Register.
                                                George W. Bush
