(2) an activity described in subsection (a)(ii)(A) of this section; or
(E) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act
for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property
and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order.
(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section apply except to
the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or
licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding
any contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to the
effective date of this order.
Sec. 2. I hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant
entry into the United States of aliens determined to meet one or more
of the criteria in subsection 1(a) of this order would be detrimental to
the interests of the United States, and I hereby suspend entry into the
United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of such persons, except
where the Secretary of State determines that the person’s entry is in the
national interest of the United States. This section shall not apply to an
alien if admitting the alien into the United States is necessary to permit
the United States to comply with the Agreement Regarding the Headquarters
of the United Nations, signed at Lake Success June 26, 1947, and entered
into force November 21, 1947, or other applicable international obligations.
Sec. 3. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the type of
articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by,
to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property
are blocked pursuant to section 1 of this order would seriously impair
my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in this order,
and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this
order.
Sec. 4. The prohibitions in section 1 of this order include but are not
limited to:
(a) the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services
by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in
property are blocked pursuant to this order; and
(b) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services
from any such person.
Sec. 5. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading
or avoiding, causes a violation of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibi-
tions set forth in this order is prohibited.
(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth
in this order is prohibited.
Sec. 6. For the purposes of this order:
(a) the term ‘‘person’’ means an individual or entity;
(b) the term ‘‘entity’’ means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture,
corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization;
(c) the term ‘‘United States person’’ means any United States citizen,
permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United
States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign
branches), or any person in the United States;
(d) the term ‘‘Government of Venezuela’’ means the Government of Ven-
ezuela, any political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, includ-
ing the Central Bank of Venezuela, and any person owned or controlled
by, or acting for or on behalf of, the Government of Venezuela.
Sec. 7. For those persons whose property and interests in property are
blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence
in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds
or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures
to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual.
I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing
