 CONTINUATION OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO THE NATIONAL UNION 
FOR THE TOTAL INDEPENDENCE OF ANGOLA--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE 
                    UNITED STATES (H. DOC. 104-116)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States; which was read and, together 
with the accompanying papers, without objection, 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.
