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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-second day of November, in the year of our Lord
nineteen hundred and ninety-six, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two
hundred and twenty-first.
(Presidential Sig.)
