Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including section 534(j) of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2006 (the "Act")(Public Law 109 102), as carried forward under the Revised Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007 (Public Law 110 5)(the "Continuing Resolution"), and Public Law 107 57, as amended, I hereby determine and certify, with respect to Pakistan, that a waiver of section 508 of the Act, as carried forward under the Continuing Resolution:
