By virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (59 Stat. 669; 22 U.S.C. 288), and having found that the United States participates in the Interim Communications Satellite Committee pursuant to the authority of the Communications Satellite Act of 1962 (76 Stat. 419; 47 U.S.C. 701-744) and the Agreement Establishing Interim Arrangements for a Global Commercial Communications System, August 20, 1964, TIAS 5646, I hereby designate the Interim Communications Satellite Committee as a public international organization entitled to enjoy the privileges, exemptions, and immunities conferred by the International Organizations Immunities Act, with the following exceptions:
