Notice of Receipt of Cultural Property Request From the 
Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia

AGENCY: United States Information Agency.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of cultural property request from the 
Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia made a cultural property 
request to the Government of the United States under Article 9 of the 
1970 UNESCO Convention. The request was received on May 20, 1999, by 
the United States Information Agency. It seeks U.S. protection of 
certain categories of archaeological material the pillage of which, it 
is alleged, jeopardizes the national cultural patrimony of Cambodia. In 
accordance with the provisions of the Convention on Cultural Property 
Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2603 et seq.) the request will be 
reviewed by the Cultural Property Advisory Committee which will develop 
recommendations before a final determination is made.

    Dated: May 21, 1999.
Harriet L. Elam,
Acting Director, United States Information Agency.
