or less each) were originally filed before the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal, but were transferred to the

FCSC pursuant to the May 13, 1990 Settlement Agreement between Iran and

the United States.

The FCSC issued decisions on 3,066

claims for total awards of $86,555,795. Of

that amount, $41,570,936 represented

awards of principal and $44,984,859 represented awards of interest. Although

originally only $50 million were available to pay these awards, the funds

earned approximately $9 million in interest over time, for a total settlement

fund of more than $59 million. Thus, all

awardees will receive full payment on

the principal amounts of their awards,

with interest awards paid on a pro rata

basis.

The FCSC’s awards to individuals

and corporations covered claims for

both real and personal property seized

by Iran. In addition, many claims arose

out of commercial transactions, including contracts for the sale of goods

and contracts for the supply of services

such as teaching, medical treatment,

data processing, and shipping. The

FCSC is now working with the Department of the Treasury to facilitate final

payment on all FCSC awards.

6. The situation reviewed above continues to implicate important diplomatic, financial, and legal interests of

the United States and its nationals and

presents an unusual challenge to the

national security and foreign policy of

the United States. The Iranian Assets

Control Regulations issued pursuant to

Executive Order No. 12170 continue to

play an important role in structuring

our relationship with Iran and in enabling the United States to implement

properly the Algiers Accords. Similarly, the Iranian Transactions Regulations issued pursuant to Executive

Order No. 12613 continue to advance

important objectives in combating

international terrorism. I shall continue to exercise the powers at my disposal to deal with these problems and

will continue to report periodically to

the Congress on significant developments.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON.
