of Persons Who Are Senior Officials of the National Union for the Total 
Independence of Angola (``UNITA'') and Adult Members of Their Immediate 
Families

December 12, 1997

By the President of the United States

of America

A Proclamation

    In light of the failure of the National Union for the Total 
Independence of Angola (``UNITA'') to comply with its obligations under 
the ``Accordos de Paz,'' the Lusaka Protocol, and other components of 
the peace process in Angola, and in furtherance of United Nations 
Security Council Resolution 1127 of August 28, 1997, 1130 of September 
29, 1997, and 1135 of October 29, 1997, I have determined that it is in 
the foreign policy interests of the United States to restrict the entry 
into the United States of aliens described in section 1 of this 
proclamation.
    Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, by the power vested in me as 
President of the United States by the Constitution and the 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 entry into the United States of aliens described in section 1 
of this proclamation as immigrants or nonimmigrants would, except as 
provided for in section 2 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 senior officials of UNITA and adult members of their 
immediate families, 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 section 1 and 2 shall be identified by 
the Secretary of State.
    Sec. 4. In identifying persons covered by section 2, the Secretary 
shall consider whether a person otherwise covered by section 1 is an 
official necessary for the full functioning of the Government of Unity 
and National Reconciliation, the National Assembly, or the Joint 
Commission, within the meaning of paragraph 4(a) of United Nations 
Security Council Resolution 1127 of August 28, 1997.
    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 is hereby authorized to implement 
this proclamation pursuant to such procedures as the Secretary of State 
may establish.
    In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of 
December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-seven, and 
of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and 
twenty-second.
                                            William J. Clinton

[Filed with the Office of the Federal Register, 10:56 a.m., December 15,
