President Issues Two Presidential Determinations Regarding Libya
Today President Bush issued two Presidential Determinations that remove restrictions on Libya. The first Presidential Determination (P.D. 2005-39) permits the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) to issue license permitting U.S. companies to work with Libya to destroy its stockpile of chemical weapons. The second Presidential Determination (P.D. 2005-40) permits DDTC to issue licenses allowing U.S. companies to assist Libya in refurbishing eight C-130H cargo aircraft that Libya bought from the U.S. in the 1970s. Libya owns the aircraft, but never took possession of the planes that are stored in the U.S.
