[Public Notice 4863]


Rescission of Determination Regarding Iraq

    In accordance with Section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 
1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 2405(j)), I hereby rescind the Determination of 
September 13, 1990 (Public Notice 1264) that Iraq is a country which 
has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism.
    This action is a further step to cement the partnership of the 
United States and Iraq in combating acts of international terrorism, 
and is an act of symbolic importance to the new Iraqi government. This 
rescission is appropriate although nearly all the restrictions 
applicable to countries that have supported terrorism, including the 
application of 22 U.S.C. 1605(a)(7), were made inapplicable with 
respect to Iraq permanently in Presidential Directive No. 2003-23 of 
May 7, 2003, pursuant to sec. 1503 of Pub. L. 108-11, and as affirmed 
in the Conference Report for Pub. L. 108-106.
    This rescission shall also satisfy the provisions of section 
620A(c)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, Pub. L. 87-195, as 
amended, and section 40(f)(1)(A) of the Arms Export Control Act, Pub. 
L. 90-629, as amended.

    Dated: October 7, 2004.
Colin L. Powell,
Secretary of State, Department of State.
