(3)(A) With respect to matters concerning the national security  
of the United States, no duty or liability under paragraph (2) of  
this subsection shall be imposed upon any person acting in  
cooperation with the head of any Federal department or agency  
responsible for such matters if such act in cooperation with such  
head of a department or agency was done upon the specific, written  
directive of the head of such department or agency pursuant to  
Presidential authority to issue such directives. **Each directive  
issued under this paragraph shall set forth the specific facts and  
circumstances with respect to which the provisions of this  
paragraph are to be invoked. **** _Each such directive shall, unless  
renewed in writing, expire one year after the date of issuance._**

Come on now, try harder…Oh and Jay, Sub. b(3)(a) seems circa 77…(although I could be mis-reading the amendment notes) But that certainly wasn’t drafted in 98 😉
