Notice of September 23, 2002
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to UNITA
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 the President 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.
The President 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
because of 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, 2002. Therefore,
I am continuing the national emergency with respect to UNITA.
This notice shall be published in the Federal
eister and transmitted to the Congress.
GEORGE W. BUSH
THE WHITE HOUSE,
September 23, 2002.
