References in Text

Section 4413 of this title, referred to in par. (1)(C), was in the original "section 17 of this Act", meaning section 17 of Pub. L. 101–233, and was translated as reading section 16(a) of Pub. L. 101–233 as the probable intent of Congress because section 16(a) of Pub. L. 101–233 relates to agreements with nations in the Western Hemisphere.

Amendments

1994-Par. (1)(D). Pub. L. 103–375 added subpar. (D).
