Summary
This document is a page from a 2005 legal opinion (349 F.Supp.2d 765) regarding the 'In Re Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001' litigation. It discusses legal tests for sovereign immunity under the FSIA, specifically analyzing whether entities like the KDIC (Korea) and PIF (Saudi Public Investment Fund) qualify as organs of a foreign state or political subdivisions. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' bates stamp, indicating it was part of a production to the House Oversight Committee, likely related to investigations into foreign financial ties or the 9/11 litigation itself, though no specific mention of Jeffrey Epstein appears on this page.
