Suspension of Limitations Under the Jerusalem Embassy Act

This was the latest in a series of recurring six-month suspensions by successive administrations to avoid moving the embassy while citing national security interests.

This notice continues for one year a national emergency declared in 2000 that blocks Russian government property related to the Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) Agreements from U.S. judicial process.
