    Message to the Congress on Blocking Property of Persons Obstructing
    Democratization in Haiti
    October 18, 1993

    To the Congress of the United States:
        Pursuant to section 204(b) of the International Emergency Economic
    Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. section 1703(b), and section 301 of the National
    Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. section 1631, I hereby report that I have
    again exercised my statutory authority to issue an Executive order with
    respect to Haiti that, effective 11:59 p.m., e.d.t., Monday, October 18,
    1993, that:
        (a) Blocks all property in the United States or within the
    possession or control of United States persons, including their overseas
    branches, of persons:
        (1) who have contributed to the obstruction of the implementation of
            United Nations Security Council Resolutions 841 and 873, the
            Governor's Island Agreement of July 3, 1993, or the activities
            of the United Nations Mission in Haiti;
        (2) who have perpetuated or contributed to the violence in Haiti; or
        (3) who have materially or financially supported any of the
            foregoing; and
        (b) Prohibits any transaction subject to U.S. jurisdiction that
    evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts
    to violate, the prohibitions in the new order, or in Executive Orders
    Nos. 12775, 12779, or 12853, except to the extent now authorized
    pursuant to the relevant Executive order.
        I am enclosing a copy of the Executive order that I have issued.
        The new Executive order is necessary to further the implementation
    of the Governors Island Agreement by reaching persons who are supporting
    the groups fomenting violence and opposing the restoration of
    constitutional government in Haiti. The new Executive order is to be
    implemented by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the
    Secretary of State.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
    October 18, 1993.
