Abstract:
The Department of State participated with 21 other Federal agencies to amend regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI, section 504, and the Age Discrimination Act. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes.

The Senate gave advice and consent on August 2, 1991. Implementing legislation (the International Wills Act) is required before the United States can take further action to ratify the convention.

Abstract:
New final rule amends the existing Canadian exemption in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Government of Canada changed its export control system by establishing a system that identifies and permits registration of persons who will be eligible on the basis of Canadian citizenship or permanent residence and of risk assessment to have access to U.S. Munitions List articles exported from the United States or re-transferred within Canada without a U.S. license. Accordingly, the new final rule reflects the Canadian registration system to permit specific end-users to be eligible to receive defense articles exported under the exemption. Such end-users are Canadian Federal or Provincial government authorities acting in an official capacity and Canadian-registered persons.
