                for the benefit of any person whose property and 
                interests in property are blocked pursuant to this 
                order would seriously impair my ability to deal with 
                the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
                12957, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided

                criteria in subsections 1(a), 3(a), and 7(a) of this 
                order would be detrimental to the interests of the 
                United States, and the entry of such persons into the 
                United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, is 
                hereby suspended. Such persons shall be treated as

                order who might have a constitutional presence in the

                notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant 
                to this order would render those measures ineffectual. 
                I therefore determine that for these measures to be 
                effective in addressing the national emergency declared 
                in Executive Order 12957, there need be no prior notice 
                of a listing or determination made pursuant to 
                subsections 1(b), 5(a)(iv), 6(b)(ii), and 7(b) of this 
                order.

                Sec. 18. Delegation to Implement Section 104A of 
                CISADA. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation 
                with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to 
                take such actions, including adopting rules and 
                regulations, and to employ all powers granted to me by 
                IEEPA, as may be necessary to carry out section 104A of 
                CISADA (22 U.S.C. 8513b). The Secretary of the Treasury 
                may, consistent with applicable law, redelegate any of 
                these functions within the Department of the Treasury.

                Sec. 19. Rights. This order is not intended to, and 
                does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or 
                procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any 
                party against the United States, its departments, 
                agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or 
                agents, or any other person.
