by Executive Order 13268 of July 2, 2002, Executive Order 13284 of 
January 23, 2003, and Executive Order 13886 of September 9, 2019, I 
hereby determine that the person known as Islamic State of Iraq and

terrorism that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national

    Consistent with the determination in section 10 of Executive Order

would render ineffectual the blocking and other measures authorized in 
the Order because of the ability to transfer funds instantaneously, I 
determine that no prior notice needs to be provided to any person 
subject to this determination who might have a constitutional presence 
in the United States, because to do so would render

ineffectual the measures authorized in the Order.
