                Notice of September 23, 2002

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to UNITA

                In accordance with section 202(d) of the National 
                Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing 
                for 1 year the national emergency declared by the 
                President on September 26, 1993, by Executive Order 
                12865, 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). The 
                order prohibits 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.

                The President took additional measures with respect to 
                the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
                12865 by issuing Executive Orders 13069 and 13098 on 
                December 12, 1997, and August 18, 1998, respectively. 
                Those orders close all UNITA offices in the United 
                States, block all property and interests in property of 
                UNITA and designated UNITA officials and adult members 
                of their immediate families, prohibit the importation 
                of certain diamonds exported from Angola, and impose 
                additional sanctions with respect to the provision of 
                mining and transportation equipment and 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, 2002. Therefore, 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.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                     September 23, 2002.
