                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                Pursuant to section 404 of the Child Soldiers 
                Prevention Act of 2008 (22 U.S.C. 2370c-1) (CSPA), I 
                hereby determine as follows:

                It is in the national interest of the United States to 
                waive the application of the prohibition in section 
                404(a) of the CSPA with respect to Iraq, Mali, Niger, 
                and Nigeria; to waive the application of the 
                prohibition in section 404(a) of the CSPA with respect 
                to Somalia to allow for the provision of International 
                Military Education and Training assistance, 
                Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) assistance, and support 
                provided pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 333, to the extent the 
                CSPA would restrict such assistance or support; to 
                waive the application of the prohibition in section 
                404(a) of the CSPA with respect to South Sudan to allow 
                for PKO assistance, to the extent the CSPA would 
                restrict such assistance or support; and to waive the 
                application of the prohibition in section 404(a) of the 
                CSPA with respect to Yemen to allow for PKO assistance, 
                to the extent the CSPA would restrict such assistance 
                or support. Accordingly, I hereby waive such 
                applications of section 404(a) of the CSPA.

                You are authorized and directed to submit this 
                determination to the Congress, along with the
