Executive Order 13049--Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical 
Weapons

June 11, 1997

    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and 
the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the 
International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and having 
found that the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is a 
public international organization in which the United States 
participates within the meaning of the International Organization 
Immunities Act, I hereby designate the Organization for the Prohibition 
of Chemical Weapons as a public international organization entitled to 
enjoy the privileges, exemptions, and immunities conferred by the 
International Organizations Immunities Act. This designation is not 
intended to abridge in any respect privileges, exemptions, or immunities 
that such organization may have acquired or may acquire by international 
agreements, including the Chemical Weapons Convention, or by 
congressional action.
                                            William J. Clinton
