                Notice of September 23, 1998

                
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, 
                related materiel of all types, 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. On 
                December 12, 1997, in order to take additional steps 
                with respect to the national emergency declared in 
                Executive Order 12865, I issued Executive Order 13069, 
                closing all UNITA offices in the United States and 
                imposing additional sanctions with regard to the sale 
                or supply of aircraft or aircraft parts, the granting 
                of take-off, landing and overflight permission, and the 
                provision of certain aircraft-related services. Most 
                recently, on August 19, 1998, in order to take further 
                steps with respect to the national emergency declared 
                in Executive Order 12865, I issued Executive Order 
                13098, blocking all property and interests in property 
                of UNITA and designated UNITA officials and adult 
                members of their immediate families, prohibiting the 
                importation of certain diamonds exported from Angola, 
                and imposing additional sanctions with regard to the 
                sale or supply of equipment used in mining, motorized 
                vehicles, watercraft, spare parts for motorized 
                vehicles or watercraft, mining services, and ground or 
                waterborne transportation services.

                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, 1998. 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 23, 1998.
