Directire of January 31, 2000 Resolution Regarding Use of Range Facilities on Vieques, Puerto Rico (Community Assistance) Directive to the Secretmy of Defense [and] Director, Office of Management and Budget By separate diroctivo I have addressed the resumption of Navy and Marine Corps training on the island of Vieques. 1. Provided that training opportunity has resumed and is continuously available on Vieques, then within 90 days of this directive, I direct the Of- rico of Management and Budget (OMB) to request authority and funding (which with funding for projects described in paragraph 5(0) of the pre- viously referenced directive will total $40 million) from the Congress for the following projects: (a) To support the construction of a new commercial ferry pier and ter- minal by the Army Corps of Engineers.

Until such time as those now fishing grounds are operational, this leg- islation will authorize direct payments of an amount (to be determined by the National Marine Fisheries Services) to be paid to registered Vioquos commercial fishermen for each day they are unable to use existing waters because the Navy is training.
