 September 25, 2001.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the

To the Congress of the United States:
    As required by section 401(c) of the National Emergencies 
Act, 50 U.S.C. 1641(c), and section 204(c) of the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1703(c), I transmit 
herewith a 6-month periodic report on the national emergency 
with respect to the National Union for the Total Independence 
of Angola (UNITA) that was declared in Executive Order 12865 of 
September 26, 1993.

                                                    George W. Bush.
    The White House, September 24, 2001.
 President's Periodic Report on the National Emergency With Respect to 
    the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA)

    I hereby report to the Congress on developments over the 
course of the past 6 months concerning the national emergency 
with respect to UNITA that was declared in Executive Order 
12865 of September 26, 1993, and matters relating to the 
measures in that order and in Executive Order 13069 of December 
12, 1997, and Executive Order 13098 of August 18, 1998. This 
report is submitted pursuant to section 401(c) of the National 
Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1641(c), and section 204(c) of the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1703(c) 
and based upon information reported to me.
    1. There have been no amendments to the UNITA (Angola) 
Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR Part 590, since the last report.
    2. The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets 
Control (``OFAC'') issued two licenses during the reporting 
period. Both licenses were for the release of blocked funds 
upon determination that there was no property interest of UNITA 
or designated UNITA officials or their designated adult family 
members.
    3. OFAC has worked closely with the U.S. financial and 
exporting communities to assure a heightened awareness of the 
sanctions against UNITA--through the dissemination of 
information in a variety of media, including publications, 
seminars, the Internet, fax-on-demand, special fliers, and 
computer bulletin board information initiated by OFAC and 
posted through the U.S. Department of Commerce and the United 
States Government Printing Office. No UNITA bank accounts have 
been identified in U.S. banks.
    4. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 
six month period from March 26 through September 25, 2001, that 
are directly attributable to the exercise of powers and 
authorities conferred by the declaration of a national 
emergency with respect to UNITA are estimated at about $20,000, 
most of which represent wage and salary costs for Federal 
personnel. Personnel costs were largely centered in the 
Department of the Treasury (particularly in the Office of 
Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Customs Service, the Office of 
the Under Secretary for Enforcement, and the Office of the 
General Counsel) and the Departments of State (particularly the 
Office of Southern African Affairs) and Commerce.
    I will continue to report periodically to the Congress on 
significant developments, pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1703(c).
