                Presidential Determination No. 2006-17 of June 30, 2006

                
Implementation of Sections 603 and 604 of the 
                Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 
                (Public Law 107-228)

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                Consistent with the authority contained in section 604 
                of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 
                2003 (Public Law 107-228) (the ``Act''), and with 
                reference to the determinations set out in the report 
                to the Congress transmitted on the date hereof, 
                pursuant to section 603 of that Act, regarding 
                noncompliance by the PLO and the Palestinian Authority 
                with certain commitments, I hereby impose the sanction 
                set out in section 604(a)(2), ``Downgrade in Status of 
                the PLO Office in the United States.'' This sanction is 
                imposed for a period of 180 days from the date hereof 
                or until such time as the next report required by 
                section 603 of the Act is transmitted to the Congress, 
                whichever is later. You are authorized and directed to 
                transmit to the appropriate Congressional committees 
                the report described in section 603 of the Act.

                Furthermore, I hereby determine that it is in the 
                national security interest of the United States to 
                waive that sanction, pursuant to section 604(c) of the 
                Act. This waiver shall be effective for a period of 180 
                days from the date hereof or until such time as the 
                next report required by section 603 of the Act is 
                transmitted to the Congress, whichever is later.

                You are hereby authorized and directed to transmit this 
                determination to the Congress and to publish it in the 
                Federal Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,
