    Continuation of Emergency With Respect to UNITA
    
                    On September 26, 1993, by Executive Order 12865, I 
                    declared a national emergency 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), prohibiting the sale or supply by 
                    United States persons or from the United States, or 
                    using U.S. registered vessels or aircraft, or 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. On 
                    December 12, 1997, in order to take additional steps 
                    with respect to the national emergency declared in 
                    Executive Order 12865, I issued Executive Order 13069, 
                    closing all UNITA offices in the United States and 
                    imposing additional sanctions with regard to the sale 
                    or supply of aircraft or aircraft parts, the granting 
                    of take-off, landing and overflight permission, and the 
                    provision of certain aircraft-related services. On 
                    August 18, 1998, in order to take further steps with 
                    respect to the national emergency declared in Executive 
                    Order 12865, I issued Executive Order 13098, blocking 
                    all property and interests in property of UNITA and 
                    designated UNITA officials and adult members of their 
                    immediate families, prohibiting the importation of 
                    certain diamonds exported from Angola, and imposing 
                    additional sanctions with regard to the sale or supply 
                    of equipment used in mining, motorized vehicles, 
                    watercraft, spare parts for motorized vehicles or 
                    watercraft, mining services, and ground or waterborne 
                    transportation 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, 1999. Therefore, in accordance 
                    with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 
                    U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency 
                    with respect to UNITA.
    
                    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                    and transmitted to the Congress.

                        September 21, 1999.
