By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1965 (5 U.S.C. App.), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Act, as incorporated in section 562 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law 101-513, 104 Stat. 1979, 2034) (the "Act"), and Executive Order No. 11760, and in order to facilitate U.S. participation in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Space Agency, it is hereby ordered as follows:

This designation shall not affect in any way the applicability of Chapter VIII of the Agreement.
