with respect to the national emergency described and declared in 

Executive Order 12938 of November 14, 1994, regarding the proliferation 

of weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them.

    Section 1 of the Order blocks, with certain exceptions, all

materially contributing to, the proliferation of weapons of mass 

destruction or their means of delivery (including missiles capable of 

delivering such weapons), including any efforts to manufacture, 

acquire, possess, develop, transport, transfer or use such items, by 

any person or foreign country of proliferation concern; (3) any person 

determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 

Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and other relevant agencies, 

to have provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material, 

technological or other support for, or goods or services in support of, 

any activity or transaction described in clause (2) above or any person 

whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to the 

Order; and (4) any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, 

in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and 

other relevant agencies, to be owned or controlled by, or acting or 

purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any 

person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to 

the Order.

    On July 18, 2006, the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation 

with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and other relevant 

agencies, designated two persons whose property and interests in
