Ex. Ord. No. 12648, Aug. 11, 1988, 53 F.R. 30637, provided:
The United States of America deposited its instrument of
ratification of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of
International Child Abduction ("Convention") on April 29, 1988. The
Convention entered into force for the United States on July 1,
1988. Article 6 of the Convention imposes upon Contracting States
an obligation to designate a "Central Authority" for the purpose of

In order that the Government of the United States of America may
give full and complete effect to the Convention, and pursuant to
section 7 of the International Child Abduction Remedies Act, Public
Law No. 100-300 (1988) [42 U.S.C. 11606], it is expedient and
necessary that I designate a Central Authority within the Executive
branch of said Government:
NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me as
President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States,
including section 301 of Title 3 of the United States Code and
section 7 of the International Child Abduction Remedies Act, it is
ordered as follows:
Section 1. Designation of Central Authority. The Department of
State is hereby designated as the Central Authority of the United
States for purposes of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of
International Child Abduction. The Secretary of State is hereby
authorized and empowered, in accordance with such regulations as he
may prescribe, to perform all lawful acts that may be necessary and
proper in order to execute the functions of the Central Authority
in a timely and efficient manner.
