The President of the International Court of Justice,

Having regard to Article 48 of the Statute of the Court and to
Article 44, paragraphs 3 and 4, of the Rules of Court,

Having regard to the Order dated 8 December 1998, whereby the
Court extended until 23 November 2000 the time-limit for the filing of
the Rejoinder of the United States;

Whereas, by a letter dated 11 July 2000 and received in the Registry
on 25 July 2000, the Co-Agent of the United States requested the
Court to extend until 23 March 2001 the time-limit for the filing of the
Rejoinder, and indicated the reasons for that request; and whereas, on
receipt of that letter, the Registrar, referring to Article 44, paragraph 3,
of the Rules of Court, transmitted a copy thereof to the Agent of
Iran;

Whereas, by a letter dated 7 August 2000 and received in the Registry
on 8 August 2000, the Agent of Iran indicated that his Government had
no objection to the extension of time-limit requested by the United
States, while pointing out that the Court, in its Order dated 10 March
1998, had reserved “the right of Iran to present its views in writing a
second time on the United States counter-claim, in an additional plead-
ing the filing of which may be the subject of a subsequent Order”,

Taking into account the agreement between the Parties,
