                Presidential Determination No. 2008-11 of February 11, 
                2008

                
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 be transmitted to the Congress pursuant to section 
                603 of that Act regarding noncompliance by the 
                Palestine Liberation Organization 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.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, February 11, 2008.
