                 PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

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.), the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), the Arms Export Control Act,
as amended (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.), Executive Orders Nos. 12851 and
12924, and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,

I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, find
that the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons
("weapons of mass destruction") and of the means of delivering such
weapons, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and hereby
declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.

Accordingly, I hereby order:

Section 1. International Negotiations. It is the policy of the United
States to lead and seek multilaterally coordinated efforts with other
countries to control the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
and the means of delivering such weapons. Accordingly, the Secretary of
State shall cooperate in and lead multilateral efforts to stop the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of
delivery.

Sec. 2. Imposition of Controls. As provided herein, the Secretary of
State and the Secretary of Commerce shall use their respective
authorities, including the Arms Export Control Act and the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act, to control any exports, to the extent
they are not already controlled by the Department of Energy and the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, that either Secretary determines would
assist a country in acquiring the capability to develop, produce,
stockpile, deliver, or use weapons of mass destruction or their means of
delivery. The Secretary of State shall pursue early negotiations with
foreign governments to adopt effective measures comparable to those
imposed under this order.

Sec. 3. Department of Commerce Controls. (a) The Secretary of Commerce
shall prohibit the export of any goods, technology, or services subject
to the Secretary's export jurisdiction that the Secretary of Commerce
determines, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary
of Defense, and other appropriate officials, would assist a foreign
country in acquiring the capability to develop, produce, stockpile,
deliver, or use weapons of mass destruction or their means of delivery.
The Secretary of State shall pursue early negotiations with foreign
governments to adopt effective measures comparable to those imposed
under this section.

(b) Subsection (a) of this section will not apply to exports relating to
a particular category of weapons of mass destruction (i.e., nuclear,
chemical, or biological weapons) if their destination is a country with
whose government the United States has entered into a bilateral or
multilateral arrangement for the control of that category of weapons of
mass destruction-related goods (including delivery systems) and
technology, or maintains domestic export controls comparable to controls
that are imposed by the United States with respect to that category of
goods and technology, or that are otherwise deemed adequate by the
Secretary of State.

(c) The Secretary of Commerce shall require validated licenses to
implement this order and shall coordinate any license applications with
the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense.

(d) The Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the Secretary of
State, shall take such actions, including the promulgation of rules,
regulations, and amendments thereto, as may be necessary to continue to
regulate the activities of United States persons in order to prevent
their participation in activities that could contribute to the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or their means of delivery,
as provided in the Export Administration Regulations, set forth in Title
15, Chapter VII, Subchapter C, of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts
768 to 799 inclusive.

Sec. 4. Sanctions Against Foreign Persons. (a) In addition to the
sanctions imposed on foreign persons as provided in the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991 and the Chemical and Biological
Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991, sanctions also
shall be imposed on a foreign person with respect to chemical and
biological weapons proliferation if the Secretary of State determines
that the foreign person on or after the effective date of this order or
its predecessor, Executive Order No. 12735 of November 16, 1990,
knowingly and materially contributed to the efforts of any foreign
country, project, or entity to use, develop, produce, stockpile, or
otherwise acquire chemical or biological weapons.

(b) No department or agency of the United States Government may procure,
or enter into any contract for the procurement of, any goods or
services from any foreign person described in subsection (a) of this
section. The Secretary of the Treasury shall prohibit the importation
into the United States of products produced by that foreign person.

(c) Sanctions pursuant to this section may be terminated or not imposed
against foreign persons if the Secretary of State determines that there
is reliable evidence that the foreign person concerned has ceased all
activities referred to in subsection (a).

(d) The Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury may provide
appropriate exemptions for procurement contracts necessary to meet U.S.
operational military requirements or requirements under defense
production agreements, sole source suppliers, spare parts, components,
routine servicing and maintenance of products, and medical and
humanitarian items. They may provide exemptions for contracts in
existence on the date of this order under appropriate circumstances.

Sec. 5. Sanctions Against Foreign Countries. (a) In addition to the
sanctions imposed on foreign countries as provided in the Chemical and
Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991,
sanctions also shall be imposed on a foreign country as specified in
subsection (b) of this section, if the Secretary of State determines
that the foreign country has, on or after the effective date of this
order or its predecessor, Executive Order No. 12735 of November 16,
1990, (1) used chemical or biological weapons in violation of
international law; (2) made substantial preparations to use chemical or
biological weapons in violation of international law; or (3) developed,
produced, stockpiled, or otherwise acquired chemical or biological
weapons in violation of international law.

(b) The following sanctions shall be imposed on any foreign country
identified in subsection (a)(1) of this section unless the Secretary of
State determines, on grounds of significant foreign policy or national
security, that any individual sanction should not be applied. The
sanctions specified in this section may be made applicable to the
countries identified in subsections (a)(2) or (a)(3) when the Secretary
of State determines that such action will further the objectives of this
order pertaining to proliferation. The sanctions specified in subsection
(b)(2) below shall be imposed with the concurrence of the Secretary of
the Treasury.

(1) Foreign Assistance. No assistance shall be provided to that country
under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, or any successor act, or the
Arms Export Control Act, other than assistance that is intended to
benefit the people of that country directly and that is not channeled
through governmental agencies or entities of that country.

(2) Multilateral Development Bank Assistance. The United States shall
oppose any loan or financial or technical assistance to that country by
international financial institutions in accordance with section 701 of
the International Financial Institutions Act (22 U.S.C. 262d).

(3) Denial of Credit or Other Financial Assistance. The United States
shall deny to that country any credit or financial assistance by any
department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States Government.

(4) Prohibition of Arms Sales. The United States Government shall not,
under the Arms Export Control Act, sell to that country any defense
articles or defense services or issue any license for the export of
items on the United States Munitions List.

(5) Exports of National Security-Sensitive Goods and Technology. No
exports shall be permitted of any goods or technologies controlled for
national security reasons under the Export Administration Regulations.

(6) Further Export Restrictions. The Secretary of Commerce shall
prohibit or otherwise substantially restrict exports to that country of
goods, technology, and services (excluding agricultural commodities and
products otherwise subject to control).

(7) Import Restrictions. Restrictions shall be imposed on the
importation into the United States of articles (that may include
petroleum or any petroleum product) that are the growth, product, or
manufacture of that country.

(8) Landing Rights. At the earliest practicable date, the Secretary of
State shall terminate, in a manner consistent with international law,
the authority of any air carrier that is controlled in fact by the
government of that country to engage in air transportation (as defined
in section 101(10) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (49 U.S.C. App.
1301(10)).

Sec. 6. Duration. Any sanctions imposed pursuant to sections 4 or 5 of
this order shall remain in force until the Secretary of State
determines that lifting any sanction is in the foreign policy or
national security interests of the United States or, as to sanctions
under section 4 of this order, until the Secretary has made the
determination under section 4(c).

Sec. 7. Implementation. The Secretary of State, the Secretary of the
Treasury, and the Secretary of Commerce are hereby authorized and
directed to take such actions, including the promulgation of rules and
regulations, as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this
order. These actions, and in particular those in sections 4 and 5 of
this order, shall be made in consultation with the Secretary of Defense
and, as appropriate, other agency heads and shall be implemented in
accordance with procedures established pursuant to Executive Order No.
12851. The Secretary concerned may redelegate any of these functions to
other officers in agencies of the Federal Government. All heads of
departments and agencies of the United States Government are directed to
take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the
provisions of this order, including the suspension or termination of
licenses or other authorizations.

Sec. 8. Preservation of Authorities. Nothing in this order is intended
to affect the continued effectiveness of any rules, regulations, orders,
licenses, or other forms of administrative action issued, taken, or
continued in effect heretofore or hereafter under the authority of the
