Notice of Receipt of Cultural Property Request From the 
Government of the Republic of Cyprus

AGENCY: United States Information Agency.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of cultural property request from the 
Government of the Republic of Cyprus.

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

    The Government of the Republic of Cyprus made a cultural property 
request to the Government of the United States under Article 9 of the 
1970 UNESCO Convention. The request was received on September 4, 1998, 
by the United States Information Agency. It seeks U.S. protection of 
certain categories of archaeological and/or ethnological material the 
pillage of which, it is alleged, jeopardizes the national cultural 
patrimony of Cyprus. 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: September 8, 1998.
Penn Kemble,
Deputy Director, United States Information Agency.
