Proclamation 5829 --
Entry Into the
Suspension
of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons
Who Formulate or Implement the Policies of the Noriega/Solis
By
the President of the
A
Proclamation
In
light of the current political and economic crisis in Panama and the actions of
Manuel Antonio Noriega and Manuel Solis Palma and their forces that engendered
this crisis and are preventing the legitimate government of President Eric
Arturo Delvalle from restoring order and democracy to
that country, I have determined that it is in the interests of the United
States to restrict the entrance into the United States as immigrants and nonimmigrants of certain persons who formulate or implement
the policies of Manuel Antonio Noriega and Manuel Solis Palma.
Now,
Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, by the power vested in me as President by the
Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including section 212(f)
of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)),
having found that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry of officers
and employees who formulate or implement the policies of Manuel Antonio Noriega
and Manuel Solis Palma would, except as provided for in Section 2 of this
Proclamation, be detrimental to the interests of the United States, do proclaim
that:
Section 1. The entry into the United States as
immigrants and nonimmigrants of Panamanian nationals
(and their immediate families), who formulate or implement the policies of
Manuel Antonio Noriega and Manuel Solis Palma and who are designated by the
Secretary of State or his designee, is hereby suspended.
Sec. 2. Nothing in this Proclamation shall be
construed (1) to derogate from United States Government obligations under
applicable international agreements or (2) to prohibit the entry into the
Sec. 3. This Proclamation is effective
immediately and shall remain in effect until such time as the Secretary of
State determines that democracy has been restored in
In
Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of June, in the
year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-eight, and of the
Ronald
Reagan
