The persons listed in an Annex to the Order; (2) any foreign person
determined by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the

destruction or their means of delivery (including missiles capable of
delivering such weapons), including any efforts to manufacture,
acquire, possess, develop, transport, transfer or use such items, by
any person or foreign country of proliferation concern; (3) any person
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and other relevant agencies,
to have provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material,
technological or other support for, or goods or services in support of,
any activity or transaction described in clause (2) above or any person
whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to the
Order; and (4) any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury,
in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and
