Memorandum for the Attorney General
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including sections 212(f) and 215(a)(1) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C.

4865 of September 29, 1981, I hereby delegate to the
Attorney General the authority to:
L(a) Maintain custody, at any location she deems
appropriate, and conduct any screening she deems
appropriate in her unreviewable discretion, of any
undocumented person she has reason to believe is
seeking to enter the United States and who is
encountered in a vessel interdicted on the high seas
through December 31, 2000; and
L(b) Undertake any other appropriate actions with
respect to such aliens permitted by law.
With respect to the functions delegated by this order,
all actions taken after April 16, 1999, for or on
behalf of the President that would have been valid if
taken pursuant to this memorandum are ratified.
This memorandum is not intended to create, and should
not be construed to create, any right or benefit,
substantive or procedural, legally enforceable by any
party against the United States, its agencies or
instrumentalities, officers, employees, or any other
person, or to require any procedures to determine
whether a person is a refugee.
You are authorized and directed to publish this
memorandum in the Federal Register.
