Determinations
AGENCY: United States Information Agency.
Republican FR 98-160400 Published @ Page 33123 in the Federal
Register of June 17, 1998 is republished in its entirety.
This 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 FR 13359, March 29, 1978), and Delegation Order No. 85-5 of June
27, 1985 (50 FR 27393, July 2, 1985). I hereby determine that the
fragment of the Dead Scroll, Psalms Tehillim, to be included in the
exhibit ``A Living Memorial to the Holocaust'' at the Museum of Jewish
Heritage in New York, imported from abroad for temporary exhibition
without profit within the United States, is of cultural significance.
This object is imported pursuant to a loan agreement with the foreign
lenders. I also determine that the exhibition or display of this object
for ``A Living Memorial to the Holocaust'' at the Museum of Jewish
Heritage in New York beginning in July 1998 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 this exhibition object. 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.
See letter of September 22, 1978, of President Jimmy Carter, attached
to the Camp David Accords, reprinted in 78 Dept of State Bulletin 11
(October 1978); Statement of September 1, 1982 of President Ronald
Reagan, reprinted 82 Dept of State Bulletin 23, (September 1982).
Public Notice of these Determinations is ordered to be published in
the Federal Register.
