Subsecs. (a), (c), (d), and (e) of sec. 5, which provided for a prohibition on imports into the United States from Uganda, were repealed by sec. 2(a) of Public Law 96–67 (93 Stat. 415; Sept. 21, 1979). During 1979, prior to this repeal several actions were taken pursuant to this act. On Feb. 6, 1979, the President issued Executive Order 12117 (44 F.R. 7937) “in order to provide for the consistent implementation of import restrictions imposed against Uganda by Section 5(c)”. Both sec. 5(c) and the Executive Order provided for the lifting of this prohibition if the President determined that Uganda was no longer committing a consistent pattern of gross violations of human rights and so certified to the Congress. Pursuant to this authority, the President determined on May 15, 1979, that the Government of Uganda was no longer violating human rights. This determination also has the effect of revoking Executive Order 12117 and immediately allowed for the resumption of imports from and exports to Uganda. Public Law 96–67, then, legislatively repealed the appropriate subsections of Public Law 95–435.
