Notice--Continuation of Emergency With Respect to UNITA

September 24, 2001

    In accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act 
(50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency 
declared by President Clinton on September 26, 1993, by Executive Order 
12865, 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). The order prohibits the sale or 
supply by United States persons or from the United States, or using U.S. 
registered vessels or aircraft, of arms, related materiel of all types, 
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.
    President Clinton took additional measures with respect to the 
national emergency declared in Executive Order 12865 by issuing 
Executive Orders 13069 and 13098 on December 12, 1997, and August 18, 
1998, respectively. Those orders close all UNITA offices in the United 
States, block all property and interests in property of UNITA and 
designated UNITA officials and adult members of their immediate 
families, prohibit the importation of certain diamonds exported from 
Angola, and impose additional sanctions with respect to the provision of 
mining and transportation equipment and services.
    Because of our continuing international obligations and the 
prejudicial effect that discontinuation of the sanctions would have on 
prospects for peace in Angola, 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, 2001. 
Therefore, I am continuing the national emergency with respect to UNITA.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.
