                Presidential Determination No. 2001-03 of October 28, 
                2000

                
Determination to Waive Attachment Provisions 
                Relating to Blocked Property of Terrorist-List States

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State [and] the 
                Secretary of the Treasury

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and laws of the United States of America, 
                including section 2002(f) of H.R. 3244, ``Victims of 
                Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000,'' 
                (approved October 28, 2000), I hereby determine that 
                subsection (f)(1) of section 1610 of title 28, United 
                States Code, which provides that any property with 
                respect to which financial transactions are prohibited 
                or regulated pursuant to section 5(b) of the Trading 
                with the Enemy Act (50 U.S. App. 5(b), section 620(a) 
                of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 
                2370(a)), sections 202 and 203 of the International 
                Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701--1702), 
                and proclamations, orders, regulations, and licenses 
                issued pursuant thereto, be subject to execution or 
                attachment in aid of execution of any judgment relating 
                to a claim for which a foreign state claiming such 
                property is not immune from the jurisdiction of courts 
                of the United States or of the States under section 
                1605(a)(7) of title 28, United States Code, would 
                impede the ability of the President to conduct foreign 
                policy in the interest of national security and would, 
                in particular, impede the effectiveness of such 
                prohibitions and regulations upon financial 
                transactions. Therefore, pursuant to section 2002(f) of 
                H.R. 3244, the ``Victim's of Trafficking and Violence 
                Protection Act of 2000,'' I hereby waive subsection 
                (f)(1) of section 1610 of title 28, United States Code, 
                in the interest of national security. This waiver, 
                together with the amendment of subsection (f)(2) of the 
                Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and the repeal of the 
                subsection (b) of section 117 of the Treasury and 
                General Government Appropriations Act, 1999, supersedes 
                my prior waiver of the requirements of subsections (a) 
                and (b) of said section 117, executed on October 21, 
                1998.

                The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to 
                publish this determination in the Federal Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, October 28,2000.
