Background
On October 21, 1995, the President, invoking the authority, inter

deal with the threat posed by significant foreign narcotics traffickers
centered in Colombia and the harm that they cause in the United States
and abroad.
Section 1 of the Order blocks, with certain exceptions, all
property and interests in property that are in the United States, or

come within the possession or control of United States persons, of: (1)
The persons listed in an Annex to the Order; (2) any foreign person
determined by the Secretary of Treasury, in consultation with the
Attorney General and the Secretary of State, to play a significant role
in international narcotics trafficking centered in Colombia, or
materially to assist in, or provide financial or technological support
for or goods or services in support of, the narcotics trafficking
activities of persons designated in or pursuant to the Order; and (3)
persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation
with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, to be owned or
controlled by, or to act for or on behalf of, persons designated
pursuant to the Order.
