SUMMARY: The Panama Canal Commission (Commission) hereby provides

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When the Panama Canal Commission was created 
in 1979 by Public Law 96-70, approved September 27, 1979, Section 1331 
of that law transferred the responsibility for the management of the 
Postal Savings deposits, certificates and money orders to the

the Commission from liability for unpaid balances due on postal-savings 
deposits and certificates and postal money orders effective December 1, 
1999.

Therefore, under the authority of 22 U.S.C. 3741, the Panama Canal 
Commission hereby gives notice after December 1, 1999, it will no 
longer be liable for any unpaid balances due on postal-savings deposits 
and certificates and postal money orders presented for payment.

    Dated: October 13, 1999.
