sroberts on PROD1PC70 with RULES
On June 21, 2000, the President issued Executive Order 13159 (the ‘‘order’’)
blocking property and interests in property of the Government of the Russian
Federation that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the
United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control
of United States persons that are directly related to the implementation
of the Agreement Between the Government of the United States of America
and the Government of the Russian Federation Concerning the Disposition
of Highly Enriched Uranium Extracted from Nuclear Weapons, dated February 18, 1993, and related contracts and agreements (collectively, the ‘‘HEU
Agreements’’). The HEU Agreements allow for the downblending of highly
enriched uranium derived from nuclear weapons to low enriched uranium
for peaceful commercial purposes. The order invoked the authority, inter
alia, of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701
et seq.) and declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United
States posed by the risk of nuclear proliferation created by the accumulation
of a large volume of weapons-usable fissile material in the territory of
the Russian Federation.
