    Message to the Congress on Further Sanctions Against Haiti
    June 30, 1993

    To the Congress of the United States:
        Pursuant to section 204(b) of the International Emergency Economic
    Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National Emergencies Act (50
    U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act
    of 1945 (22 U.S.C. 287c), and section 301 of title 3 of the United
    States Code, in view of United Nations Security Council Resolution No.
    841 of June 16, 1993, and in order to take additional steps with respect
    to the actions and policies of the de facto regime in Haiti and the
    national emergency described and declared in Executive Order No. 12775,
    I hereby report that I have exercised my statutory authority with
    respect to Haiti and issued an Executive order that:
        --Blocks all property of any Haitian national providing substantial
    financial or material contributions to the de facto regime in Haiti, or
    doing substantial business with the de facto regime in Haiti, as
    identified by the Secretary of the Treasury, that is or comes within the
    United States or the possession or control of United States persons. The
    proposed order defines the term ``Haitian national'' to mean a citizen
    of Haiti, wherever located; an entity or body organized under the laws
    of Haiti; and any other person, entity, or body located in Haiti and
    engaging in the importation, storage, or distribution of products or
    commodities controlled by sanctions imposed on Haiti pursuant to
    resolutions adopted either by the United Nations Security Council or the
    Organization of American States, or otherwise facilitating transactions
    inconsistent with those sanctions;
        --Prohibits the sale or supply, by United States persons, or from
    the United States, or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, of
    petroleum or petroleum products or arms and related materiel of all
    types, including weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and
    equipment, police equipment and spare parts for the aforementioned,
    regardless of origin, to any person or entity in Haiti or to any person
    or entity for the purpose of any business carried on in or operated from
    Haiti, and any activities by United States persons or in the United
    States which promote or are calculated to promote

    such sale or supply; and
        --Prohibits the carriage on U.S.-registered vessels of petroleum or
    petroleum products, or arms and related materiel of all types, including
    weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, police
    equipment and spare parts for the aforementioned, regardless of origin,
    with entry into, or with the intent to enter, the territory or
    territorial sea of Haiti.
        I am enclosing a copy of the Executive order that I have issued. The
    order was effective immediately.
        The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of
    State, is authorized to issue regulations implementing these
    prohibitions.
        United Nations Security Council Resolution 841, unanimously adopted
    on June 16, 1993, calls on all States to adopt certain measures which
    are included within those outlined above. These measures are called for
    in recognition of the urgent need for an early, comprehensive, and
    peaceful settlement of the crisis in Haiti and in light of the failure
    of parties in Haiti to act constructively to take steps necessary to
    begin the restoration of democracy.
        The measures we are taking respond to the Security Council's call.
    They demonstrate our commitment to remain at the forefront of the
    international community's efforts to back up with sanctions the
    negotiations process being sponsored by the United Nations and the
    Organization of American States. These steps also demonstrate
    unflinching support through our foreign policy of the return of
    democracy to Haiti.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
    June 30, 1993.
