Notwithstanding any provision of law identified in section 441c
of this title, the President may stay the imposition of an
economic, cultural, diplomatic, or other sanction or related action
by the United States Government concerning a foreign country,
organization, or person when the President determines and reports
to Congress in accordance with section 441b of this title that to
proceed without delay would seriously risk the compromise of an
ongoing criminal investigation directly related to the activities
giving rise to the sanction or an intelligence source or method
directly related to the activities giving rise to the sanction. Any
such stay shall be effective for a period of time specified by the
President, which period may not exceed 120 days, unless such period
is extended in accordance with section 441a of this title.
