Culturally Significant Objects Imported for Exhibition 
Determinations: Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey

ACTION: Notice

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

SUMMARY: 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), the Foreign Affairs Reform and 
Restructuring Act of 1998 (112 Stat. 2681, et seq.), Delegation of 
Authority No. 234 of October 1, 1999, and Delegation of Authority No. 
236 of October 19, 1999, as amended, I hereby determine that the 
objects to be included in the exhibition ``Culture and Continuity: The 
Jewish Journey'' 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 a foreign 
lender. I also determine that the exhibition or display of the exhibit 
objects at the Jewish Museum from on or about March 1, 2000 to on or 
about December 1, 2004, is in the national interest. Public Notice of 
these determinations is ordered to be published in the Federal 
Register. The action of the United States in this matter and the 
immunity based on the application of the provisions of law involved 
does not imply any view of the United States concerning the ownership 
of these 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. 
See letter of September 22, 1978, of President Jimmy Carter, attached 
to the Camp David Accords, reprinted in 78 Dept. of State Bulletin 11 
(October 1978); Statement of September 1, 1982 of President Ronald 
Reagan, reprinted in 82 Dept. of State Bulletin 23 (September 1982).''
