    Message to the Congress on Continuation of the National Emergency With
    Respect to UNITA
    September 18, 1995

    To the Congress of the United States:
        Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d))
    provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless,
    prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President
    publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice
    stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the
    anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent the
    enclosed notice, stating that the emergency declared with respect to the
    National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (``UNITA'') is to
    continue in effect beyond September 26, 1995, to the Federal Register
    for publication.
        The circumstances that led to the declaration on September 26, 1993,
    of a national emergency have not been resolved. United Nations Security
    Council Resolution 864 (1993) continues to oblige all Member States to
    maintain sanctions. Discontinuation of the sanctions would have a
    prejudicial effect on the Angolan peace process. For these reasons, I
    have determined that it is necessary to maintain in force the broad
    authorities necessary to apply economic pressure to UNITA.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,

    September 18, 1995.
