                Presidential Determination No. 2006-02 of October 16, 
                2005

                
Provision of U.S. Drug Interdiction Assistance to 
                the Government of Brazil

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

                 Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 1012 
                of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
                Year 1995, as amended (22 U.S.C. Sec.  2291-4), I 
                hereby certify, with respect to Brazil, that (1) 
                interdiction of aircraft reasonably suspected to be 
                primarily engaged in illicit drug trafficking in that 
                country's airspace is necessary because of the 
                extraordinary threat posed by illicit drug trafficking 
                to the national security of that country; and (2) that 
                country has appropriate procedures in place to protect 
                against innocent loss of life in the air and on the 
                ground in connection with such interdiction, which 
                shall at a minimum include effective means to identify 
                and warn an aircraft before the use of force is 
                directed against the aircraft.

                The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to 
                publish this determination in the Federal Register and 
                to notify Congress of this determination.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, October 16, 2005.
