of March 27, 1978, the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 
1998 (112 Stat. 2681, et seq.; 22 U.S.C. 6501 note, et seq.),

Authority No. 236-3 of August 28, 2000 (and, as appropriate, Delegation

Scrolls: Life and Faith in Ancient Times,'' imported from abroad for

agreements with the foreign owner or custodian. I also determine that 
the exhibition or display of the additional exhibit objects at the 
Museum of Science, Boston, MA, from on or about May 18, 2013, until on
