       (a) Finding.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Presidential Decision Directive 42, issued on October 
     21, 1995, ordered agencies of the executive branch of the 
     United States Government to, inter alia, increase the 
     priority and resources devoted to the direct and immediate 
     threat international crime presents to national security, 
     work more closely with other governments to develop a global 
     response to this threat, and use aggressively and creatively 
     all legal means available to combat international crime.
       (2) Executive Order No. 12978 of October 21, 1995, provides 
     for the use of the authorities in the International Emergency 
     Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to target and sanction four 
     specially designated narcotics traffickers and their 
     organizations which operate from Colombia.
       (b) Policy.--It should be the policy of the United States 
     to impose economic and other financial sanctions against 
     foreign international narcotics traffickers and their 
     organizations worldwide.

     SEC. _02. PURPOSE.

       The purpose of this title is to provide for the use of the

       (b) Exclusion of Certain Persons From List.--
       (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     this section, the list described in subsection (a) shall not 
     include the name of any individual if the Director of Central

     of Central Intelligence shall advise the President when a 
     determination is made to withhold an individual's identity 
     under this subsection.
       (2) Reports.--In each case in which the Director of Central

     transmitted to the President that year as persons 
     constituting an unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
     national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United 
     States. The President shall notify the Secretary of the 
     Treasury of any person designated under this subsection. If

       (1) Additional Individuals Designated.--If at any time 
     after March 1 of a year, but prior to January 1 of the 
     following year, the President determines that a person is 
     playing a significant role in international narcotics 
     trafficking and has not been designated under subsection (d)

     to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the 
     United States, the President may so designate the person. The 
     President shall notify the Secretary of the Treasury of any 
     person designated under this paragraph.
