"TITLE IX—APPLICATION OF SANCTIONS LAWS TO
INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES
"STAY OF SANCTIONS
50 USC 441.
"SEC. 901. Notwithstanding any provision of law identified in
section 904, the President may stay the imposition of an economic,
cultural, diplomatic, or other sanction or related action by the
United States Government concerning a foreign country, organization, or person when the President determines and reports to Congress in accordance with section 903 that to proceed without delay
would seriously risk the compromise of an ongoing criminal investigation directly related to the activities giving rise to the sanction
or an intelligence source or method directly related to the activities
giving rise to the sanction. Any such stay shall be effective for
a period of time specified by the President, which period may
not exceed 120 days, unless such period is extended in accordance
with section 902.
"EXTENSION OF STAY
50 USC 441a.
"SEC. 902. Whenever the President determines and reports
to Congress in accordance with section 903 that a stay of sanctions
or related actions pursuant to section 901 has not afforded sufficient
time to obviate the risk to an ongoing criminal investigation or
to an intelligence source or method that gave rise to the stay,
he may extend such stay for a period of time specified by the
President, which period may not exceed 120 days. The authority
of this section may be used to extend the period of a stay pursuant
to section 901 for successive periods of not more than 120 days
each.
"REPORTS
50 USC 441b.
"SEC. 903. Reports to Congress pursuant to sections 901 and
902 shall be submitted promptly upon determinations under this
title. Such reports shall be submitted to the Committee on International Relations of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate. With respect to determinations relating to intelligence sources and methods, reports shall
also be submitted to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives and the Select Committee
on Intelligence of the Senate. With respect to determinations relating to ongoing criminal investigations, reports shall also be submitted to the Committees on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
