                2005

                
Implementation of Section 603 and 604 of the 
                Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 
                (Public Law 107-228)

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                Consistent with the authority contained in section 604 
                of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 
                2003 (Public Law 107-228) (the ``Act''), and with 
                reference to the determinations set out in the report 
                to Congress transmitted on the date hereof, pursuant to 
                section 603 of that Act, regarding noncompliance by the 
                PLO and the Palestinian Authority with certain 
                commitments, I hereby impose the sanction set out in 
                section 604 (a) (2), ``Downgrade in Status of the PLO 
                Office in the United States.'' This sanction is imposed 
                for a period of 180 days from the date hereof or until 
                such time as the next report required by section 603 of 
                the Act is transmitted to the Congress, whichever is 
                later.

                You are authorized and directed to transmit to the 
                appropriate congressional committees the report 
                prepared by my Administration that is described in 
                section 603 of the Act.

                Furthermore, I hereby determine that it is in the 
                national security interest of the United States to 
                waive that sanction, pursuant to section 604(c) of the 
                Act. This waiver shall be effective for a period of 180 
                days from the date hereof or until such time as the 
                next report required by section 603 of the Act is 
                transmitted to the Congress, whichever is later.

                You are hereby authorized and directed to transmit this 
                determination to the Congress and to publish it in the 
                Federal Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
