Memorandum of August 29, 2003
Assistance for Voluntary Population Planning
Memorandum for the Secretary of State
On March 28, 2001, I issued a memorandum for the
Administrator of the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) directing that
certain conditions be placed on assistance for family
planning activities provided to foreign nongovernmental organizations by USAID.
Because family planning grants are awarded by the
Department of State outside of USAID as well as through
USAID, you are hereby directed to extend the
requirements of the March 28, 2001, memorandum to all
assistance for voluntary population planning furnished
to foreign nongovernmental organizations and
appropriated pursuant to the Foreign Assistance Act,
whether such assistance is furnished by USAID or any
other bureau, office, or component of the Department of State.
As set forth in the March 28, 2001, memorandum, this
policy applies to certain assistance provided to
foreign nongovernmental organizations. Such
organizations do not include multilateral organizations
that are associations of governments. This policy shall
not apply to foreign assistance furnished pursuant to
the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS,
Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003 (Public Law 108- 25).
The foregoing directive is issued consistent with the
authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of
the United States of America, including sections 104
and 104A of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended.
You are authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.
(Presidential Sig.)B
