Receipt of Cultural Property Request From the Government of the Republic of Bolivia

AGENCY: United States Information Agency.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of cultural property request from the Government of the Republic of Bolivia.

The Government of the Republic of Bolivia, concerned that its cultural heritage is in jeopardy from pillage, made a request to the Government of the United States under Article 9 of the 1970 UNESCO Convention. The request was received on September 29, 1999, by the United States Information Agency. It seeks U.S. import restrictions on categories of archaeological and ethnological material of the Pre- Columbia and Colonial periods made of, but not limited to, stone, metal, ceramic, shell, bone, wood, leather, painted materials and cloth. In accordance with provisions of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2602 and 2603), the request will be reviewed by the Cultural Property Advisory Committee which will report on its findings and recommendations thereunder. A meeting of the Committee will be announced at a later time. Information about the Act and U.S. implementation of the 1970 UNESCO Convention can be found at http://e.usia.gov/education/culprop.

Dated: September 30, 1999. William B. Bader, Associate Director for Education and Cultural Affairs, United States Information Agency.
