                Proclamation 6958 of November 22, 1996

                
Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and 
                Nonimmigrants of Persons Who Are Members or Officials 
                of the Sudanese Government or Armed Forces

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                In light of the refusal of the Government of Sudan to 
                comply with United Nations Security Council Resolution 
                1044 of January 31, 1996, and in furtherance of United 
                Nations Security Council Resolution 1054 of April 26, 
                1996, I have determined that it is in the foreign 
                policy interests of the United States to restrict the 
                entry into the United States of aliens described in 
                paragraph 3 of United Nations Security Council 
                Resolution 1054 and in section 1 of this proclamation.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, by the power 
                vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws 
                of the United States of America, including sections 
                212(f) and 215 of the Immigration and Nationality Act 
                of 1952, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185), and 
                section 301 of title 3, United States Code, hereby find 
                that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry 
                into the United States of persons described in section 
                1 of this proclamation would, except as provided for in 
                section 2 of this proclamation, be detrimental to the 
                interests of the United States. I therefore, do 
                proclaim that:

                Section 1. The entry into the United States as 
                immigrants and nonimmigrants of members of the 
                Government of Sudan, officials of that Government, and 
                members of the Sudanese armed forces, is hereby 
                suspended.

                Sec. 2. Section 1 shall not apply with respect to any 
                person otherwise covered by section 1 where the entry 
                of such person would not be contrary to the interests 
                of the United States.

                Sec. 3. Persons covered by section 1 and 2 shall be 
                identified by the Secretary of State.

                Sec. 4. Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed 
                to restrict the entry of Sudanese officials coming to 
                the United States on official business of the United 
                Nations other than in a manner consistent with the 
                obligations of the United States to the United Nations.

                Sec. 5. This proclamation is effective immediately and 
                shall remain in effect until such time as the Secretary 
                of State determines that it is no longer necessary and 
                should be terminated.

                Sec. 6. The Secretary of State is hereby authorized to 
                implement this proclamation pursuant to such procedures 
                as he may establish.
