xection 1655 (a) 2 of the Foreign Sovereign famunities Act. The legislative history of the Act made that point clear; contracts of employment were not entioned, sinply because the entire approach was different from that taken in the draft. 185- lhere was general support for deleting the reference to the social security requirement in paragraph 1. One member, however, considered that the reference should be retained, as difficulties often arose in that connection. In his view, the words "which may be in force" made it clear that States that did not have a social security system would not on that account be required to introduce one.

**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, specifically the section regarding contracts of employment. The language used is technical and legal, with references to international law and state immunity. The discussion focuses on the wording and implications of certain provisions, such as recruitment and social security requirements. This suggests that the text is related to the legal framework governing international employment, rather than a specific industry or sector.
