Presidential Notice 6867

Continuation of the National Emergency Relating to Cuba and of the Emergency Authority Relating to the Regulation of the Anchorage and Movement of Vessels

President Clinton continued a national emergency declared in 1996 after Cuba shot down two unarmed U.S. civilian aircraft, extending emergency authority to regulate vessel anchorage and movement near Cuba. The continuation is based on Cuba's continued threat to use force against U.S. vessels and aircraft engaged in memorial or protest activities.
