                 Presidential Determination No. 2021-10 of August 10,
                 2021
                
                Continuation of U.S. Drug Interdiction Assistance
                 to the Government of Colombia
                 Memorandum for the Secretary of State [and] the
                 Secretary of Defense
                 By the authority vested in me as President by the
                 Constitution and the laws of the United States, and
                 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)
                 Colombia 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
                 includes 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.)
