    (a) No license or other authorization contained in this part, or

effected prior to the issuance of the license, unless specifically 

provided in such license or authorization.

    (b) No regulation, ruling, instruction, or license authorizes any 

transaction prohibited under this part unless the regulation, ruling, 

instruction or license is issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control 

and specifically refers to this part. No regulation, ruling, 

instruction, or license referring to this part shall be deemed to 

authorize any transaction prohibited by any provision of this chapter 

unless the regulation, ruling, instruction, or license specifically

Unless the regulation, ruling, instruction, or license otherwise 

specifies, such an authorization does not create any right, duty, 

obligation, claim, or interest in, or with respect to, any property 

which would not otherwise exist under ordinary principles of law.
