Presidential Determination
Determination to Waive Military Coup-Related Provision of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2006, with respect to Pakistan
In simple terms
President Bush waived a statutory prohibition (Section 508 of the 2006 Foreign Operations Appropriations Act) that would have barred U.S. assistance to Pakistan following a military coup, certifying that the waiver would promote democratic transition and support counterterrorism efforts. The determination was transmitted to Congress and published in the Federal Register.
