Foreign Funds Control Regulations

To All Banks, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve D istrict:

The Treasury Department has informed us that the Office of Alien Property,
Department of Justice, is being abolished on or before June 30, 1966. Because of
this action the President, by Executive Order 11281 of May 13, 1966, effective May 15,
1966, has retransferred to the Treasury Department jurisdiction over the property
and interests remaining blocked under the World War II Foreign Funds Control
program. Jurisdiction with respect to vesting matters remains in the Justice
Department.
The Secretary of the Treasury has requested this Bank to serve as fiscal agent
of the United States in connection with the execution of the Foreign Funds Control
program.
Blocking controls remain limited in application to property of Hungary or its
nationals acquired on or before January 1, 1945; property of Czechoslovakia,
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania or nationals of those countries acquired on or before
December 7, 1945; property of East Germany or its nationals acquired on or before
December 31, 1946, and certain securities scheduled in General Rulings No. 5 and
No. 5B, as amended.
The Foreign Funds Control Regulations codified while under the jurisdiction
of the Justice Department in 8 CFR, Part 511, have been amended to delete obsolete
material and to reflect the retransfer. As amended and recodified in 31 CFR, Part
520, the Regulations were published in the Federal Register of May 20, 1966.
No changes in licensing policies are being made as a result of the retransfer.
Applications for specific licenses under the Foreign Funds Control Regulations
should be filed, in duplicate, with this Bank.
