                                  FROM

                   THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

                              TRANSMITTING

 NOTIFICATION THAT THE EMERGENCY DECLARED WITH RESPECT TO THE NATIONAL 
 UNION FOR THE TOTAL INDEPENDENCE OF ANGOLA (UNITA) IS TO CONTINUE IN 
    EFFECT BEYOND SEPTEMBER 26, 1995, PURSUANT TO 50 U.S.C. 1622(d)




 September 18, 1995.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the 
     Committee on International Relations and ordered to be printed
To the Congress of the United States:
    Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 
1622(d)) provides for the automatic termination of a national 
emergency unless, prior to the anniversary date of its 
declaration, the President publishes in the Federal Register 
and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that the 
emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date. 
In accordance with this provision, I have sent the enclosed 
notice, stating that the emergency declared with respect to the 
National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (``UNITA'') 
is to continue in effect beyond September 26, 1995, to the 
Federal Register for publication.
    The circumstances that led to the declaration on September 
26, 1993, of a national emergency have not been resolved. 
United Nations Security Council Resolution 864 (1993) continues 
to oblige all Member States to maintain sanctions. 
Discontinuation of the sanctions would have a prejudicial 
effect on the Angolan peace process. For these reasons, I have 
determined that it is necessary to maintain in force the broad 
authorities necessary to apply economic pressure to UNITA.

                                                William J. Clinton.
    The White House, September 18, 1995.
                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


            continuation of emergency with respect to unita

    On September 26, 1993, by Executive Order No. 12865, I 
declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States 
constituted by the actions and policies of the National Union 
for the Total Independence of Angola (``UNITA''), prohibiting 
the sale or supply by United States persons or from the United 
States, or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, of arms 
and related materiel of all types, and petroleum and petroleum 
products to the territory of Angola, other than through 
designated points of entry. The order also prohibits the sale 
or supply of such commodities to UNITA. Because of our 
continuing international obligations and because of the 
prejudicial effect that discontinuation of the sanctions would 
have on the Angolan peace process, the national emergency 
declared on September 26, 1993, and the measures adopted 
pursuant thereto to deal with that emergency, must continue in 
effect beyond September 26, 1995. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 
1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency with respect 
to UNITA.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                William J. Clinton.
    The White House, September 18, 1995.
