PRESIDENT BUSH SIGNED DOCUMENTS ON WAIVER OF 907 SECTION [26.01.2002 20:30:43] As stated, on January 10, 2002, president of the United States Mr. George Bush has signed the bill on "Foreign operations, and related programs appropriations Act," and in this way, the provision allowing the President to waive the 907 Section has come to effect. On January 25, 2002, President George Bush has signed appropriate documents on waiver of the 907 Section to the "Freedom Support Act" and sent them to the Congress. Thus, the US governmental bans on direct assistance to Azerbaijan were eliminated. It has to be reminded that the issue on abolishment of bans was initiated by Kansas senator Mr. Sam Brownback. Despite the Armenian lobby attempts, after long debates at the Congress, and within the 2002 fiscal year, the bill was finally backed by the Congress.
