Other Presidential Documents Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 576(d) of the Act, I here- by determine that it is vital to the national security interests of the United States to furnish up to $15 million in funds made available under the head- ing "Nonproliferation, Anti-Terrorism, Demining, and Related Programs" of the Act, for assistance for KEDO, and therefore I hereby waive the require- ment in section 576(b) to certify that: (4) North Korea has not diverted assistance provided by the United States for purposes for which it was not intended; and (5) North Korea is not seeking to develop or acquire the capability to en- rich uranium, or any additional capability to reprocess spent nuclear fuel. You are hereby authorized and directed to report this certification and waiver to the Congress and to arrange for its publication in the Federal Register. WILLIAM J. CLINTON THE WHITE HOUSE, Washington, Feb\177my 24, 2000. Notice of February 25, 2000 Continuation of the National Emergency Relating to Cuba and of the Emergency Authority Relating to the Regulation of the Anchorage and Movement of Vessels On March l, \177996, by Proclamation 6867, I declared a national emergency to address the disturbance or threatened disturbance of international rela- tions caused by the February 24, \177996, destruction by the Government of Cuba of two unarmed U.S.-registered civilian aircraft in international air- space north of Cuba. In July \177996 and on subsequent occasions, the Gov- ernment of Cuba stated its intent to forcefully defend its sovereignty against any U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft that might enter Cuban territorial wa- ters or airspace while involved in a memorial flotilla and peaceful protest. Since these events, the Government of Cuba has not demonstrated that it will refrain from the future use of reckless and excessive force against U.S. vessels or aircraft that may engage in memorial activities or peaceful pro- test north of Cuba. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the Na- tional Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. \177622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency with respect to Cuba and the emergency authority relating to the regulation of the anchorage and movement of vessels set out in Proclama- tion 6867. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. WILLIAM J. CLINTON THE WHITE HOUSE, Februmy 25, 2000. 357
