 Title 3--The President U.S.C. 1701--1702), and proclamations, orders, regulations, and licenses issued pursuant thereto, be subject to execution or attachment in aid of execution of any judgment relating to a claim for which a foreign state claiming such property is not immune from the jurisdiction of courts of the United States or of the States under section 1605(a)(7) of title 28, United States Code, would impede the ability of the President to conduct foreign policy in the interest of national security and would, in particular, impede the effectiveness of such prohibitions and regulations upon financial trans- actions. Therefore, pursuant to section 2002(f) of H.R. 3244, the "Victim's of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000," I hereby waive sub- section (f)(1) of section 1610 of title 28, United States Code, in the interest of national security. This waiver, together with the amendment of sub- section (f)(2) of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and the repeal of the subsection (b) of section 117 of the Treasury and General Government Ap- propriations Act, 1999, supersedes my prior waiver of the requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of said section 117, executed on October 21, 1998. The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to publish this determina- tion in the Federal Register. THE WHITE HOUSE, Washington, October 28, 2000. WILLIAM J.
