TITLE 22—FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
§ 9528
203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the
benefit of any person whose property and interests in
property are blocked pursuant to this order would seri-
ously impair my ability to deal with the national emer-
gency declared in Executive Order 14024, and I hereby
prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this
order.
SEC. 6. For the purposes of this order:
(a) the term ‘‘entity’’ means a partnership, associa-
tion, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup,
or other organization;
(b) the term ‘‘foreign person’’ means an individual or
entity that is not a United States person;
(c) the term ‘‘person’’ means an individual or entity;
and
(d) the term ‘‘United States person’’ means any
United States citizen, lawful permanent resident, enti-
ty organized under the laws of the United States or any
jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign
branches), or any person in the United States.
SEC. 7. For those persons whose property and inter-
ests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who
might have a constitutional presence in the United
States, I find that because of the ability to transfer
funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to
such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this
order would render those measures ineffectual. I there-
fore determine that for these measures to be effective
in addressing the national emergency declared in Exec-
utive Order 14024, there need be no prior notice of a list-
ing or determination made pursuant to section 1 of this
order.
SEC. 8. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation
with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to
take such actions, including the promulgation of rule
