                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the 
                Constitution and laws of the United States, including

                 Determine and certify that the transaction, 
                encompassing U.S. Government-funded transfers and 
                commercial exports of defense articles and services 
                necessary for an SSR program for the security sector of 
                the Government of Southern Sudan, including support 
                for: transformation of the Sudan People's Liberation 
                Army from a guerrilla force into a smaller, 
                conventional force; the Sudan People's Liberation 
                Movement; a protective service detail, police service, 
                intelligence, and other law enforcement entities of the 
                Government of Southern Sudan; and private entities 
                involved in the SSR program, is essential to the 
                national security interests of the United States;

                 Waive the prohibitions in section 40 of the 
                AECA related to such a transaction; and

                 Assign to you the functions of the President 
                under section 40(g)(2) of the AECA to consult with and 
                submit reports to the Congress for proposed specific 
                transfers or exports, 15 days prior to permitting them 
                to proceed, that are necessary for and within the scope 
                of this waiver determination and the transaction 
                referred to herein.

                You are authorized and directed to report this 
                determination to the Congress and arrange for its 
                publication in the Federal Register. 
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
