This presidential determination finds that providing defense articles and services to Mongolia will strengthen U.S. security and promote world peace, thereby making Mongolia eligible to receive such assistance under the Foreign Assistance Act and Arms Export Control Act. The Secretary of State is directed to report this finding to Congress and publish it in the Federal Register.
President Clinton continued the national emergency declared in Executive Order 12924 for another year because Congress had not renewed the Export Administration Act of 1979. This emergency declaration preserves export control regulations under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act after the underlying statute lapsed.
This 1995 memorandum directs federal agencies to facilitate access to federal buildings and lands for siting mobile services antennas to support wireless communications infrastructure buildout. It requires the GSA Administrator to develop procedures within 90 days in consultation with multiple department secretaries, establishes principles for antenna siting including market-based fees, and preserves agency discretion to reject inappropriate requests.
President Clinton directed the EPA Administrator to expedite rulemaking to expand Toxics Release Inventory reporting to additional industrial facilities (SIC codes 20-39) and to develop a process for collecting toxic chemical use information, with a progress report due by October 1, 1995. The memorandum reinforces implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 and the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990.
This executive order requires federal agencies to favor contractors that publicly report toxic chemical releases under the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) for competitive contracts over $100,000. It mandates EPA guidance, incorporates reporting requirements into federal acquisition regulations, and allows contract termination for non-compliance.
President Clinton determined that an unforeseen emergency existed requiring immediate military assistance to the United Nations, authorizing up to $17 million in defense articles and services from DOD to support the UN Rapid Reaction Force in Bosnia. The determination was made under Section 506(a)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act because the need could not be met under the Arms Export Control Act or other authorities.
Executive Order 12968 establishes a uniform federal personnel security program governing access to classified information.
