SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the following determinations: I 
hereby determine that certain objects to be included in the exhibition 
``Dead Sea Scrolls: The Exhibition,'' imported from abroad for 
temporary exhibition within the United States, are of cultural 
significance. The objects are imported pursuant to a loan agreement 
with the foreign owner or custodian. I also determine that the

exhibitions or venues yet to be determined, is in the national 
interest.
    The action of the United States in this matter, and the immunity 
based on the application of the provisions of law involved, does not 
imply any view of the United States concerning the ownership of the 
exhibit objects.
