                Notice of February 27, 2001

                
Continuation of the National Emergency Relating 
                to Cuba and of the Emergency Authority Relating to the 
                Regulation of the Anchorage and Movement of Vessels

                On March 1, 1996, by Proclamation 6867, President 
                Clinton declared a national emergency to address the 
                disturbance or threatened disturbance of international 
                relations caused by the February 24, 1996, destruction 
                by the Government of Cuba of two unarmed U.S.-
                registered civilian aircraft in international air space 
                north of Cuba. In July 1996 and on subsequent 
                occasions, the Government of Cuba stated its intent to 
                forcefully defend its sovereignty against any U.S.-
                registered vessels or aircraft that might enter Cuban 
                territorial waters or airspace while involved in a 
                memorial flotilla and peaceful protest. Since these 
                events, the Government of Cuba has not demonstrated 
                that it will refrain from the future use of reckless 
                and excessive force against U.S. vessels or aircraft 
                that may engage in memorial activities or peaceful 
                protest north of Cuba. 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 Cuba and the emergency authority 
                relating to the regulation of the anchorage and 
                movement of vessels set out in Proclamation 6867.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                     February 27, 2001.
