UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY


Culturally Significant Objects Imported for Exhibition; 
Determinations

    Notice is hereby given of the following determinations: Pursuant to 
the authority vested in me by the Act of October 19, 1965 (79 Stat. 
985, 22 U.S.C. 2459), Executive Order 12047 of March 27, 1978 (43 F.R. 
13359, March 29, 1978), and Delegation Order No. 85-5 of June 27, 1985 
(50 F.R. 27393, July 2, 1985), I hereby determine that the seven 
objects (See list \1\), to be exhibited in A Living Memorial to the 
Holocaust--Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York, imported from abroad 
for the temporary exhibition without profit within the United States, 
are of cultural significance. These objects are imported pursuant to a 
loan agreement with the foreign lenders. I also determine that the 
exhibition or display of the listed exhibit objects at A Living 
Memorial to the Holocaust--Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York from 
on or about July 1, 1997, through July 1, 2002, is in the national 
interest. The action of the United States in this matter and the 
immunity based on the application of the provisions of the law involved 
does not imply any view of the United States concerning the ownership 
of the exhibition objects. Further, it is not based upon and does not 
represent any change in the position of the United States regarding the 
status of Jerusalem or the territories occupied by Israel since 1967. 
Public Notice of these determinations is ordered to be published in the 
Federal Register.
