    Proclamation 6569--Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants
    of Persons Who Formulate or Implement Policies That Are Impeding the
    Negotiations Seeking the Return to Constitutional Rule in Haiti

     June 3, 1993

    By the President of the United States

    of America

    A Proclamation

        In light of the political crisis in Haiti resulting from the
    expulsion from Haiti of President Aristide and the constitutional
    government, I have determined that it is in the interests of the United
    States to restrict the entry to the United States of certain Haitian
    nationals who formulate, implement, or benefit from policies that impede
    the progress of the negotiations designed to restore constitutional
    government to Haiti, and the immediate families of such persons.
        Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, by the power vested in me as
    President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America,
    including section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952,
    as amended (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States
    Code, hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry
    into the United States of persons described in section 1 of this
    proclamation would, except as provided for in sections 2 or 3 of this
    proclamation, be detrimental to the interests of the United States. I do
    therefore proclaim that:
        Section 1. The entry into the United States as immigrants and
    nonimmigrants of persons who formulate, implement, or benefit from
    policies that impede the progress of the negotiations designed to
    restore constitutional government to Haiti, and the immediate family
    members of such persons, is hereby suspended.

        Sec. 2. Section 1 shall not apply with respect to any person
    otherwise covered by section 1 where the entry of such person would not
    be contrary to the interests of the United States.
        Sec. 3. Persons covered by sections 1 and 2 shall be identified
    pursuant to procedures established by the Secretary of State, as
    authorized in section 6 below.
        Sec. 4. Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed to derogate
    from United States Government obligations under applicable international
    agreements.
        Sec. 5. This proclamation is effective immediately and shall remain
    in effect until such time as the Secretary of State determines that it
    is no longer necessary and should be terminated.
        Sec. 6. The Secretary of State shall have responsibility to
    implement this proclamation pursuant to procedures the Secretary may
    establish.
        In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of
    June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of
    the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and
    seventeenth.
                                                William J. Clinton
