                Presidential Determination No. 97-31 of August 16, 1997


                Use of Section 614 To Provide Assistance to
                Colombia

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section
                614(a)(2) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as
                amended, 22 U.S.C. 2364(a)(2) (the ``Act''), I hereby
                determine that it is vital to the national security
                interests of the United States to make sales and extend
                credits to Colombia of up to $30 million in Foreign
                Military Financing under the Arms Export Control Act,
                without regard to any provision of the law within the
                scope of section 614. I hereby authorize such making of
                sales and extensions of credit, including the
                expenditure of previously obligated Foreign Military
                Financing funds needed to finance such sales.

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section
                614(a)(1) of the Act, 22 U.S.C. 2364(a)(1), I hereby
                determine that it is important to the security
                interests of the United States to furnish up to
                $600,000 in Fiscal Year 1997 funds under Chapter 5 of
                part II of the Act for Colombia, without regard to any
                provision of the law within the scope of section 614. I
                hereby authorize the furnishing of such assistance.

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

                    (Presidential Sig.)<Clinton1><Clinton2>

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, August 16, 1997.
