Notice of Receipt of Cultural Property Request From the 
Government of Peru

    The Government of Peru has submitted a cultural property request to 
the Government of the United States under Article 9 of the 1970 UNESCO 
Convention. The request was received on January 28, 1997, by the United 
States Information Agency. The request seeks U.S. protection of certain 
categories of archaeological and/or ethnological material the pillage 
of which, it is alleged, jeopardizes the national cultural patrimony of 
Peru. In accordance with the provisions of the Convention on Cultural 
Property Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.), the request will 
be reviewed by the Cultural Property Advisory Committee which will 
develop recommendations before a determination is made.

    Dated: February 7, 1997.

Deputy Director, United States Information Agency.
