Pursuant to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and to the Ad Hoc Delegation of Project Authorization Authority dated September 11, 1992, I hereby authorize the Emergency Roads Repair Project (the "Project") for Cambodia involving planned obligations of not to exceed Forty Million United States Dollars (US$40,000,000) over the three year period from the date of authorization, subject to the availability of funds in accordance with the A.I.D. OYB/allotment process. The planned Life of Project is approximately four years from the date of initial obligation. 2. The Project will provide access to rural areas in Cambodia to permit resettlement of refugee and displaced persons, facilitate the delivery of basic services and humanitarian aid, stimulate and encourage trade and rural development, and contribute to the social and economic recovery of Cambodia. The Project will undertake activities necessary to demine, repair, and restore vital rural road infrastructure, including bridges and culverts. 3. The assistance agreements necessary to implement the Project may be negotiated and executed by the officer to whom such authority is delegated in accordance with A.I.D. regulations and delegations of authority, shall be subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and such other terms and conditions that A.I.D. may deem appropriate. 4. Source and Orlin of Commodities: Nationality of Services. Except as A.I.D. may otherwise agree in writing, or as otherwise provided below, commodities financed by A.I.D. under the Project shall have their source and origin and for services their source and nationality in the United States. Except as A.I.D. may otherwise agree in writing, ocean shipping financed by A.I.D. under the Project shall be only on flag vessels of the United States. AID has determined that there is no U.S. flag service available to Cambodia and ocean transportation services of A.I.D. geographic code 935 are eligible for financing under this Project until December 16, 1992, unless A.I.D. agrees otherwise in writing. Except as provided below, all locally financed procurement must be covered by source/nationality waivers under A.I.D. Handbook lB, Chapter 5, with the following exceptions: a. Locally available commodities of U.S. origin, which are otherwise eligible for financing, if the value of the transaction is estimated not to exceed thq local currency equivalent of $100,000 (exclusive of transportation costs); b. Commodities of A.I.D. £eographic code 935 origin if the value of the transaction does not exceed $25,000; c. Commodities and services and related expenses of A.I.D. geographic code 935 origin that, by their nature or as a practical matter, can only be acquired, performed or incurred in those countries, such as fuel, oils, and lubricants, vehicle maintainance, housing and related expenses, and communications, among others; d. Professional services contracts of geographic code 935 nationality estimated not to exceed $600,000; and, e. Construction services contracts of geographic code 935 nationality estimated not to exceed $7,500,000. 5. Waivers. Taking into consideration that funds for this Project are made available "notwithstanding any other provision of law," except as A.I.D. may agree otherwise in writing, the following waivers apply to this Project: a. Host Country Contribution, FAA Sec. 110, 124(d): Cambodia, as a relatively least developed country, has no funds to enable it to share in the costs of the Project; b. Environmental Impact Statements, FAA 117(c), and AID Reg. 16: No assessment of the environmental impact can be undertaken because of the dangers posed by mines, which the Project is designed to eliminate; c. Ten Percent Set Aside for Subcontracts, FAA 567, AIDAR 14.726.3, and, for Phase I, full and open competition and advertisement in the United States, FAR Part 6: As local knowledge of construction conditions and risks is imperative to permit safe activity; and, d. Certification that the host country has the capability to maintain and utilize the project effectively, FAA 611(e): Cambodia has no governmental authority with the capacity to rehabilitate roads. 6. Condition. No funds made available under this authorization may be made available, directly o' indirectly; for the Khmer Rouge.

Background and Rationale A. General. Cambodia has been perhaps the nation most devasted by the conflicts in Indochina. The country has suffered from a protracted period of fighting, economic disruption and massive displacement of the population since the mid-1970s. After years of unsuccessful efforts to bring about peace between warring factions, a ceasefire was finally agreed to and on October 23, 1991 the main political factions signed an accord in Paris which provides for a UN-organized ceasefire, repatriation of refugees, disarmament and demobilization of armed forces, and nationwide parliamentary elections. The four separate political factions will, under the terms of the Peace Accord, continue to administer the areas currently under their control until the election of a single national government, scheduled for mid-1993. Of the four factions, the Phnom Ppnh-based State of Cambodia (SOC) is by far the largest and controls approximately 80 percent of the country, including the capital and all major towns. The Khmer Rouge is a radical communist faction which controls some forested and mountain areas in the extreme North, West and South of the country near the Thai and Lao borders. The non-communist Khmer Peoples National Liberation Front (KPNLF) and Front Uni National pour un Cambodge Independant Neutre, Pacifique et Cooperativ (FUNCINPEC) each administer districts in Banteay Meanchey Province in the Northwest, bordering on Thailand; FUNCINPEC also administers territory in Siem Reap Province near the Thai border. While each faction administers certain parts of the country, the nation's soverignty is represented in this pre-electoral transition period by a Supreme national Council (SNC) which is composed of representatives of all four facitons and headed by Prince Norodom Sihanouk. The U.S. Mission, as well as most other bilateral and multilateral missions in Cambodia, is accredited to the SNC. At present, however, the SNC has no administrative function. In response to the Paris Agreement, there has been a massive scaling up of international relief efforts. However, it is widely recognized that the negotiated peace is fragile and obtaining sustained cooperation from all factions during the process will be difficult. The repatriation effort alone is daunting: an estimated 350,000 refugees are located in camps on the Thai side of the border and internally displaced Cambodians are estimated to number some 180,000 as of March 1992.
