Receipt of Cultural Property Request From the Government of 
Nicaragua

AGENCY: United States Information Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Receipt of Cultural Property Request from the 
Government of Nicaragua.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Government of Nicaragua has submitted a cultural property 
request to the Government of the United States under Article 9 of the 
1970 UNESCO Convention. The request was received on November 27, 1995, 
by the United States Information Agency. The request seeks U.S. 
protection of certain categories of archaeological material the pillage 
of which, it is alleged, jeopardizes the national cultural patrimony of 
Nicaragua. In accordance with the provisions of the Convention on 
Cultural Property Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2603 et seq) the 
request will be reviewed by the Cultural Property Advisory Committee 
which will develop recommendations before a determination is made.

    Dated: November 28, 1995.
Penn Kemble,
Deputy Director, United States Information Agency.
