FAC NO. 118522

Dear Mr. Fa.trilci.at
In ay letter to you of August 5, 199 0, I set forth the status of
various banks under Executive Order No. 12723.
Since that date
we have received additional information regarding the ownership
and control of banks listed in Category XII of that letter.
We
have also received information concerning the status of other
banks or entities not listed in the August 5 letter.
Based upon the information we have received, we have determined
that the following bank should not be considered a blocked entity
under Executive Order No. 12723 and Executive Order No. 12725 of
August 9, 1990:

Arab African International Bank
We have also determined that the following bank should be
considered a blocked entity’ under Executive Order No. 12723 and
Executive Order No. 12725 and should be included with those
listed in Category I (I.e., blocked):
Bahrain Arab International Bank
We will complete our review of the status of the remaining banks
listed in Category III of the August 5 letter shortly.
Thank you
for your ongoing cooperation.
