[Public Notice 6468]


In the Matter of the Review of the Designations of Jaish-e-
Mohammed (JEM) and Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LT), and All Designated Aliases, 
as Foreign Terrorist Organizations Pursuant to Section 219 of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended

    Based upon a review of the Administrative Records assembled in this 
matter pursuant to Section 219(a)(4)(C) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1189(a)(4)(C)) (``INA''), and in 
consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the 
Treasury, I conclude that the circumstances that were the basis for the 
2003 re-designations of the aforementioned organizations as foreign 
terrorist organizations have not changed in such a manner as to warrant 
revocation of the designations and that the national security of the 
United States does not warrant a revocation.
    Therefore, I hereby determine that the designations of the 
aforementioned organizations as foreign terrorist organizations, 
pursuant to Section 219 of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189), shall be 
maintained.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: December 15, 2008.
John D. Negroponte,
Deputy Secretary of State, Department of State.
