Further, it is the policy of the United States Government to deny all U.S. Government assistance, contracts, and defense-related licenses to these entities. EFFECTIVE DATE: August 13, 2002. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

These measures shall be implemented by the responsible departments and agencies of the United States Government and will remain in place for one year. Dated: September 6, 2002.
