United States-Mexico Border Health Commission

                By the authority vested in me as President by the
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of
                America, including section 1 of the International
                Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288) (the
                ``Act''), and having found that the United States
                participates in the United States-Mexico Border Health
                Commission (USMBHC) pursuant to the United-States
                Mexico Border Health Commission Act, Public Law 103-400
                (22 U.S.C. 290n et seq.), I hereby designate the USMBHC
                as a public international organization for purposes of
                the International Organizations Immunities Act. I
                hereby extend to members and employees of the Mexican
                Section of the USMBHC the same privileges, exemptions,
                and immunities as are accorded under similar
                circumstances to officers and employees, respectively,
                of foreign governments with regard to the laws
                regulating entry into and departure from the United
                States as provided for in section 7(a) of the Act (22
                U.S.C. 288d(a)). No other privileges, exemptions, or
                immunities of the Act are extended under this order.

                This designation is not intended to abridge in any
                respect privileges, exemptions, or immunities that the
                USMBHC otherwise may have acquired or may acquire by
                law.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
