     SAN DIEGO (Reuter) - President Clinton Thursday authorized
sending up to $4 million in spare supplies from the Defense
Department to support establishment of a Palestinian police
force in the Israeli-occupied city of Jericho.

     Clinton made the appropriation to support the police force
expected to be established as part of the September 1993
Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement that ultimately is to allow
self-rule for Palestinians in Jericho.

     A presidential directive to Defense Secretary William Perry
said supplies with a value not to exceed $4 million should be
sent to Israel for use by the Palestinian police.

     Clinton signed a separate order to Perry ordering the
release of $161.9 million in Defense Department supplies to be
sent to Israel as part of the regular U.S. appropriation to
Israel.
