license is required by the Department

of the Treasury for shipments to these

designated points of entry (unless the

item is destined for UNITA), any such

exports remain subject to the licensing

requirements of the Departments of

State and/or Commerce.

2. FAC has worked closely with the

U.S. financial community to assure a

heightened awareness of the sanctions

against UNITA—through the dissemination of publications, seminars, and

notices to electronic bulletin boards.

This educational effort has resulted in

frequent calls from banks to assure

that they are not routing funds in violation of these prohibitions. United

States exporters have also been notified of the sanctions through a variety

of media, including special fliers and

computer bulletin board information

initiated by FAC and posted through

this Department of Commerce and the

Government Printing Office. There

have been no license applications under

the program.

3. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month period

from September 26, 1994, through

March 25, 1995, that are directly attributable to the exercise of powers and authorities conferred by the declaration

of a national emergency with respect

to Angola (UNITA) are reported at

about $50,000, most of which represents

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 Customs

Service, the Office of the Under Secretary for Enforcement, and the Office

of the General Counsel) and the Department of State (particularly the Office of Southern African Affairs).

I will continue to report periodically

to the Congress on significant developments, pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1703(c).
