The military debt reduction authority provided by this subsection shall be limited such that no reduction shall result in a decrease in the principal value of the AECA Loans below the discounted net present value which would result from a restructuring of the AECA Loans according to the terms and conditions which apply to the loans of the International Development Association (principal shall be repayable over 40 years and shall bear no interest, and there shall be a 10 year grace period after which period 2 per centum of the loan shall be repaid annually for a period of 10 years, and 4 per centum of the loan shall be repaid annually during the remaining years). (d) DEBT CANCELLATION AUTHORITY,— (1) The President, notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the context of the multilateral debt negotiations provided for in this section may reduce to zero the amended notes (in the manner specified in subsection (e)(2)(A) and (B)) only if other major holders of EgjHptian military debt agree to equal or comparable reductions. If such other creditors do not agree to comparable reductions in Reports, their Egyptian military debt the President shall so report to Congress. (2) If the President reports to Congress under paragraph (1) then he may further determine that it is essential to the national security interests of the United States to unilaterally cancel the requirement of Egypt to repay the United States for such Egyptian military debt.
