Sec.  9b.8  Term and renewal of Department of State press building passes.

    (a) Department of State press building passes for U.S. citizens are

Diplomatic Security's turnstyle entry devices, will become invalid at 
the end of that twelve-month period.
    (b) For any valid passes issued before October 1, 1995, notification 
shall be sent by the Department of State to the holder of the pass that 
the pass has become invalid by reason of lack of use for 12-month 
period. However, failure of the holder for any reason to receive such a 
notification shall not affect the invalidity of the pass. Anyone whose 
pass has become invalid may apply for
