Presidential Determination No. 2010-02 of October 16, 2009
Provision of U.S. Drug Interdiction Assistance to the Government of Brazil
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 Brazil, 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.)
