Unexpected Urgent Refugee and Migration Needs

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including section 2(c)(1) of the Migration and 
                Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 (22 U.S.C. 2601(c)(1)) 
                (MRAA), I hereby determine, pursuant to section 2(c)(1) 
                of the MRAA, that it is important to furnish assistance 
                under the MRAA in an amount of up to $100 million from 
                the United States Emergency Refugee and Migration 
                Assistance Fund for the purpose of meeting unexpected 
                urgent refugee and migration needs, victims of 
                conflict, and other persons at risk as a result of the 
                situation in Afghanistan, including applicants for 
                Special Immigrant Visas. Such assistance may be 
                provided on a bilateral or multilateral basis as 
                appropriate, including through contributions to 
                international organizations and through funding to 
                other nongovernmental organizations, governments, and 
                United States departments and agencies.

                This determination supersedes Presidential 
                Determination 2021-08 of June 11, 2021.

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