                Notice of September 21, 1999

                
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, or 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. On 
                August 18, 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 prospects for peace in 
                Angola, 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, 1999. 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 21, 1999.
