Determination to Waive Attachment Provisions Relating to Blocked Property of Terrorist-List States
President Clinton waived a provision of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 that would have allowed plaintiffs to seize blocked property of terrorist-list states to satisfy court judgments. The determination finds that allowing such attachments would impede the President's ability to conduct foreign policy and national security by undermining financial sanctions. The Secretary of State is directed to publish this waiver in the Federal Register.
Action Under Section 203 of the Trade Act of 1974 Concerning Line Pipe
President Clinton imposed a three-year safeguard tariff on imported circular welded carbon quality line pipe, starting at 19% ad valorem and declining to 15% and 11% in years two and three, with a 9,000 short ton exemption per country. Canada and Mexico were excluded from the safeguard measure under NAFTA provisions, and the Secretary of the Treasury was directed to implement monitoring and reporting requirements.
