The President

Proclamation 7060 of December 12, 1997

Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of

Persons Who Are Senior Officials of the National Union for

the Total Independence of Angola (‘‘UNITA’’) and Adult

Members of Their Immediate Families

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

In light of the failure of the National Union for the Total Independence

of Angola (‘‘UNITA’’) to comply with its obligations under the ‘‘Accordos

de Paz,’’ the Lusaka Protocol, and other components of the peace process

in Angola, and in furtherance of United Nations Security Council Resolution

1127 of August 28, 1997, 1130 of September 29, 1997, and 1135 of October

29, 1997, 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 section 1 of this proclamation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, by the power vested in me

as President of the United States by the Constitution and the 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 entry

into the United States of aliens described in section 1 of this proclamation

as immigrants or nonimmigrants would, except as provided for in section

2 of this proclamation, be detrimental to the interests of the United States.

I do therefore proclaim that:

Section 1. The entry into the United States as immigrants and nonimmigrants

of senior officials of UNITA and adult members of their immediate families,

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. In identifying persons covered by section 2, the Secretary shall

consider whether a person otherwise covered by section 1 is an official

necessary for the full functioning of the Government of Unity and National

Reconciliation, the National Assembly, or the Joint Commission, within the

meaning of paragraph 4(a) of United Nations Security Council Resolution

1127 of August 28, 1997.

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 the Secretary of State may establish.
