Executive Order 13367--United States-Mexico Border Health Commission

December 21, 2004

    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) (the 
``Act''), and having found that the United States participates in the 
United States-Mexico Border Health Commission (USMBHC) pursuant to the 
United-States Mexico Border Health Commission Act, Public Law 103-400 
(22 U.S.C. 290n et seq.), I hereby designate the USMBHC as a public 
international organization for purposes of the International 
Organizations Immunities Act. I hereby extend to members and employees 
of the Mexican Section of the USMBHC the same privileges, exemptions, 
and immunities as are accorded under similar circumstances to officers 
and employees, respectively, of foreign governments with regard to the 
laws regulating entry into and departure from the United States as 
provided for in section 7(a) of the Act (22 U.S.C. 288d(a)). No other 
privileges, exemptions, or immunities of the Act are extended under this 
order.
    This designation is not intended to abridge in any respect 
privileges, exemptions, or immunities that the USMBHC otherwise may have 
acquired or may acquire by law.
                                                George W. Bush
