Summary
This document is page 801 from a 2005 legal opinion regarding the 'In Re Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001' litigation (349 F.Supp.2d 765). The text discusses the 'discretionary function' exception under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) and the court's finding that this exception bars claims against Saudi Royals Prince Sultan and Prince Turki, who were accused of donating to charities linked to al Qaeda. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, indicating it was likely part of a Congressional document production.
