Notice--Continuation of Emergency With Respect to UNITA

September 24, 1997

    On September 26, 1993, by Executive Order 12865, I declared a 
national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to 
the foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and 
policies of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola 
(``UNITA''), prohibiting the sale or supply by United States persons or 
from the United States, or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, of 
arms and related material of all types, and petroleum and petroleum 
products to the territory of Angola, other than through designated 
points of entry. The order also prohibits the sale or supply of such 
commodities to UNITA. Because of our continuing international 
obligations and because of the prejudicial effect that discontinuation 
of the sanctions would have on the Angolan peace process, the national 
emergency declared on September 26, 1993, and the measures adopted 
pursuant thereto to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect 
beyond September 26, 1997. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) 
of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the 
national emergency with respect to UNITA.
