    Proclamation 6685--Suspension of Entry of Aliens Whose Entry Is Barred
    Under United Nations Security Council Resolution 917 or Who Formulate,
    Implement, or Benefit From Policies That Are Impeding the Negotiations
    Seeking the Return to Constitutional Rule in Haiti

    May 7, 1994

    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, United Nations Security Council Resolution 917, and the
    overriding interest of the United States in the restoration of democracy
    to Haiti, I have determined that it is in the interests of the United
    States to restrict the entry to the United States of: (1) all aliens
    described in paragraph 3 of United Nations Security Council Resolution
    917; and (2) all other aliens who formulate, implement, or benefit from
    policies that impede the progress of the negotiations designed to
    restore constitutional government to Haiti and their immediate families.
        Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, by the powers vested in me as
    President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America,
    including sections 212(f) and 215 of the Immigration and Nationality Act
    of 1952, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185), and section 301 of
    title 3, United States Code, hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant
    and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens described in
    sections 1 and 2 of this proclamation would, except as provided for in
    sections 3 and 4 of this proclamation, be detrimental to the interests
    of the United States. I do therefore proclaim that:
        Section 1. The immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United
    States of aliens described in paragraph 3 of United Nations Security
    Council Resolution 917 is hereby suspended. These aliens are: (a) all
    officers of the Haitian military, including the police, and their
    immediate families;
        (b) the major participants in the coup d'etat of 1991 and in the
    illegal governments since the coup d'etat, and their immediate families;
    and
        (c) those employed by or acting on behalf of the Haitian military,
    and their immediate families.
        Sec. 2. The immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States
    of aliens who are not covered by section 1, but who nonetheless
    formulate, implement, or benefit from policies that impede the progress
    of the negotiations designed to restore constitutional government to
    Haiti, and their immediate families, is hereby suspended.
        Sec. 3. Section 1 shall not apply with respect to any alien
    otherwise covered by section 1 where the entry of such alien has been
    approved as prescribed by paragraph 3 of United Nations Security Council
    Resolution 917.
        Sec. 4. Section 2 shall not apply with respect to any alien
    otherwise covered by section 2 where the entry of such alien would not
    be contrary to the interests of the United States.
        Sec. 5. Aliens covered by sections 1 through 4 shall be identified
    pursuant to procedures established by the Secretary of State, as
    authorized in section 8 below.
        Sec. 6. Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed to derogate
    from United States Government obligations under applicable international
    agreements.
        Sec. 7. This proclamation shall take effect at 11:59 p.m., eastern
    daylight time on May 8, 1994, and shall remain in effect until such

    [[Page 1016]]

    time as the Secretary of State determines that it is no longer necessary
    and should be terminated.
        Sec. 8. The Secretary of State shall have responsibility to
    implement this proclamation pursuant to procedures the Secretary may
    establish.
        Sec. 9. Proclamation No. 6569 of June 3, 1993, is hereby revoked.
        In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of
    May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of
    the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and
    eighteenth.
                                                William J. Clinton
