UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY
Culturally Significant Objects Imported for Exhibition;
Determinations
Notice is hereby given of the following determinations: Pursuant to
the authority vested in me by the Act of October 19, 1965 (79 Stat.
985, 22 U.S.C. 2459), Executive Order 12047 of March 27, 1978 (43 F.R.
13359, March 29, 1978), and Delegation Order No. 85-5 of June 27, 1985
(50 F.R. 27393, July 2, 1985), I hereby determine that the seven
objects (See list \1\), to be exhibited in A Living Memorial to the
Holocaust--Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York, imported from abroad
for the temporary exhibition without profit within the United States,
are of cultural significance. These objects are imported pursuant to a
loan agreement with the foreign lenders. I also determine that the
exhibition or display of the listed exhibit objects at A Living
Memorial to the Holocaust--Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York from
on or about July 1, 1997, through July 1, 2002, is in the national
interest. The action of the United States in this matter and the
immunity based on the application of the provisions of the law involved
does not imply any view of the United States concerning the ownership
of the exhibition objects. Further, it is not based upon and does not
represent any change in the position of the United States regarding the
status of Jerusalem or the territories occupied by Israel since 1967.
Public Notice of these determinations is ordered to be published in the
Federal Register.
