Sec. 15. 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

therefore determine that for these measures to be
effective in addressing the national emergency declared

of an action taken pursuant to subsection 1(b)(ii),
2(b), 7(a)(iv), or 8(a) of this order.

replacing ``for the purchase or acquisition of
petroleum or petroleum products from Iran'' with ``for
the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or
marketing of petroleum or petroleum products from

replacing ``for the purchase or acquisition of
petrochemical products from Iran'' with ``for the

replacing ``knowingly, on or after the effective date
of this order, engaged in a significant transaction for

effective date of this order, engaged in a significant
transaction for the purchase, acquisition, sale,
transport, or marketing of petroleum or petroleum
products from Iran''.

date of this order, engaged in a significant
transaction for the purchase, acquisition, sale,

plans,''.
Sec. 17. All agencies of the United States Government
are hereby directed to take all appropriate measures
within their authority to carry out the provisions of

other person.
Sec. 19. The measures taken pursuant to this order are
