                    Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997
    
                    
    Blocking Sudanese Government Property and 
                    Prohibiting Transactions With Sudan
    
                    By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                    Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                    America, including the International Emergency Economic 
                    Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the 
                    National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and 
                    section 301 of title 3, United States Code;
    
                    I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States 
                    of America, find that the policies and actions of the 
                    Government of Sudan, including continued support for 
                    international terrorism; ongoing efforts to destabilize 
                    neighboring governments; and the prevalence of human 
                    rights violations, including slavery and the denial of 
                    religious freedom, constitute an unusual and 
                    extraordinary threat to the national security and 
                    foreign policy of the United States, and hereby declare 
                    a national emergency to deal with that threat. I hereby 
                    order:
    
                    Section 1. Except to the extent provided in section 
                    203(b) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)) and in regulations,

                    pursuant to this order, all property and interests in 
                    property of the Government of Sudan that are in the

                    States, or that hereafter come within the possession or
