Supplementary Agreement on Social Security Between the United 
States and the United Kingdom; Entry Into Force

    The Commissioner of Social Security gives notice that on September 
1, 1997 a supplementary agreement entered into force which amends the 
Social Security agreement between the United States (U.S.) and the 
United Kingdom (U.K.) that has been in effect since January 1, 1985. 
The supplementary agreement, which was signed on June 6, 1996, was 
concluded pursuant to section 233 of the Social Security Act.
    The supplementary agreement amends the original agreement to update 
and clarify several of its provisions. Its primary purpose, however, is 
to remove certain restrictions in the original agreement on the payment 
of U.K. disability benefits to residents of the United States.
    Individuals who wish to obtain copies of the supplementary 
agreement or want general information about its provisions may write to 
the Social Security Administration, Office of International Policy, 
Post Office Box 17741, Baltimore, Maryland 21235. Anyone who wants 
information about U.K. benefits should write to: Pensions and Overseas 
Benefits Directorate, Tyneview Park, Whitley Road, Benton, Newcastle 
upon Tyne, NE98 1BA, England.

    Dated: November 7, 1997.
Kenneth S. Apfel,
Commissioner of Social Security.
