Background

    On October 18, 2007, the President signed Executive Order 13448 
(the ``Order'') pursuant to, inter alia, the International Emergency 
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.). In the Order, the 
President took additional steps with respect to, and expanded, the 
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13047 of May 20, 1997, 
to address the Government of Burma's continued repression of the 
democratic opposition. The President identified twelve individuals and 
entities as subject to the economic sanctions in the Annex to the 
Order.

property and interests in property that are in, or hereafter come

United States persons, of the persons listed in the Annex, as well as 
those persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, after 
consultation with the Secretary of State, to satisfy any of the 
criteria set forth in subparagraphs (b)(i)-(b)(vi) of Section 1. On 
February 5, 2008, the Director of OFAC exercised the Secretary of the 
Treasury's authority to designate, pursuant to one or more of the 
criteria set forth in Section 1, subparagraphs (b)(i)-(b)(vi) of the 
Order, the following four individuals, whose names have been added to
