                Notice of September 16, 1996

                
Continuation of Emergency With Respect to UNITA

                On September 26, 1993, by Executive Order 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 material 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, 1996. 
                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.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                     September 16, 1996.
