Presidential Determination No. 2009-24 of August 13, 2009
Continuation of U.S. Drug Interdiction Assistance to the Government of Colombia
Memorandum for the Secretary of State [and] the Secretary of Defense
Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 1012
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 1995, as amended (22 U.S.C. 2291-4), I hereby
certify, with respect to Colombia, that (1)
interdiction of aircraft reasonably suspected to be
primarily engaged in illicit drug trafficking in that
country's airspace is necessary, because of the
extraordinary threat posed by illicit drug trafficking
to the national security of that country; and (2) that
country has appropriate procedures in place to protect
against innocent loss of life in the air and on the
ground in connection with such interdiction, which
shall at a minimum include effective means to identify
and warn an aircraft before the use of force is directed against the aircraft.
The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to
publish this determination in the Federal Register and
to notify the Congress of this determination.
(Presidential Sig.)
