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
