    Based upon a review of the administrative record assembled in this

Special Operations Branch, also known as External Services 
Organization, also known as External Security Organization of

    Therefore, pursuant to Section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224, I 
hereby amend the designation of Hizballah as a Specially Designated 
Global Terrorist to include the following new aliases: Lebanese 
Hizballah, also known as Lebanese Hezbollah, also known as LH; Foreign 
Relations Department, also known as FRD; and External Security 
Organization, also known as ESO, also known as Foreign Action Unit,

Services Organization, also known as External Security Organization of 
Hezbollah.
