                    Proclamation 6958 of November 22, 1996
    
                    
    Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and 
                    Nonimmigrants of Persons Who Are Members or Officials 
                    of the Sudanese Government or Armed Forces
    
                    By the President of the United States of America
    
                    A Proclamation
    
                    In light of the refusal of the Government of Sudan to 
                    comply with United Nations Security Council Resolution 
                    1044 of January 31, 1996, and in furtherance of United 
                    Nations Security Council Resolution 1054 of April 26, 
                    1996, 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 
                    paragraph 3 of United Nations Security Council 
                    Resolution 1054 and in section 1 of this proclamation.
    
                    NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, by the power 
                    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 persons described in section 
                    1 of this proclamation would, except as provided for in 
                    section 2 of this proclamation, be detrimental to the 
                    interests of the United States. I therefore, do 
                    proclaim that:
    
                    Section 1. The entry into the United States as 
                    immigrants and nonimmigrants of members of the 
                    Government of Sudan, officials of that Government, and 
                    members of the Sudanese armed forces, 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. Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed 
                    to restrict the entry of Sudanese officials coming to 
                    the United States on official business of the United 
                    Nations other than in a manner consistent with the 
                    obligations of the United States to the United Nations.
    
                    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 he may establish.
