of mass destruction or their means of delivery (including missiles 
capable of delivering such weapons), including any efforts to 
manufacture, acquire, possess, develop, transport, transfer or use such 
items, by any person or foreign country of proliferation concern; (3) 
any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation 
with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and other relevant
