and 12544 ("Blocking Libyan Government Property in the

Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. ("IEEPA"), and
the Libyan Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 550 (the

believe that on or since the effective dates (E.O. 12543,
January 7, 1986 and E.O. 12544, January 8, 1986) the
entities described in the Appendix to this memorandum have
been owned or controlled by or have acted or purported to
act directly or indirectly on behalf of the Government of
Libya or the authorities thereof.
Consequently, pursuant to section 550.304(a)(4) of the
Regulations, the persons described in the Appendix have;been
determined to be specially designated nationals of the
Government of Libya and, therefore, to be subject to the
same prohibitions applicable to the Government of Libya. In
addition, all real and personal property of the persons
identified in the Appendix to this memorandum, including but
not limited to all accounts in which those persons have any
interest are blocked; and all transactions involving any
person named in the Appendix are prohibited.
All Federal Reserve Banks, including branches and other
offices, are requested to notify all depository
institutions, including foreign agencies, in their district
of these determinations and to instruct them that all such
accounts are blocked and that no transactions concerning
such accounts or the persons described in the Appendix are
permitted except as specifically authorized by the Director,
Office of Foreign Assets Control.

Furthermore, we request that banks be instructed, in
accordance with section 550.602 of the Regulations and
section 203(a)(2) of IEEPA, to report, under oath, any
blocked property within their possession of the persons
named in the Appendix and all transactions therein, on or
after the sffective dates, including prohibited transactions
that are or were blocked by the banks or transactions that
are or were attempted but not consummated, within 10 days of
receipt of the Federal Reserve Bank’s notification or, in
the case of attempted transactions, within 10 days of
occurrence.
The banks’ reports should include all information within
their possession, control or custody, detailing the blocked
property (including accounts) as of January 8, 1986,
specifically identifying where such property is now held,
and separately accounting for any transfers of property
since January 8, 1986. In the case of accounts of any
nature, the bank or other financial institution should
provide the account number, the amount on deposit, available
credit or balance outstanding, and the name and address of
the institution or agency holding the account; and it should
provide evidence confirming that the account is being
maintained in a blocked status.
In the case of attempted transactions involving the persons
named in the Appendix or relating to their accounts, the
bank should provide the names, addresses, account numbers
and any other available information identifying the parties
or intended parties, including all financial institutions,
involved with the attempted transaction.
