BY THE-,OMPTROLLER GENERAL



,,Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES





Treasury Should Keep Better Track

Of Blocked Foreign Assets





The Treasury Department, under emergency
legislation, blocks the assets of designated
countries hostile to the United States to pre-
vent these countries from earning dollar foreign
exchange and from using the assets until politi-
cal differences are resolved and American                          113761
claims settled.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control regulates
the blockings but relies almost entirely on pri-
vate financial institutions to carry them out. It
does not routinely determine what assets are
blocked nor how custodians account for them
and preserve their value on behalf of American
  claimants, Such determinations are excep-
  tional, as is the President's order to take a cen-
  sus of Iranian assets and U.S. claims against
  Iran.

  In addition, not enough attention has been
  given to protecting U.S. Government interests
  affected by the blockings.
