                2008

                
 Suspension of Limitations Under the Jerusalem 
                Embassy Act

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me as President by 
                the Constitution and the laws of the United States, 
                including section 7(a) of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 
                1995 (Public Law 104-45) (the ``Act''), I hereby 
                determine that it is necessary to protect the national 
                security interests of the United States to suspend for 
                a period of 6 months the limitations set forth in 
                sections 3(b) and 7(b) of the Act. My Administration 
                remains committed to beginning the process of moving 
                our embassy to Jerusalem.

                You are hereby authorized and directed to transmit this 
                determination to the Congress, accompanied by a report 
                in accordance with section 7(a) of the Act, and to 
                publish the determination in the Federal Register.

                This suspension shall take effect after transmission of 
                this determination and report to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,
