MEMORANDUM FOR MR. L. WAYNE ARNY
Associate Director for National Security
and International Affairs
Office of Management and Budget
SUBJECT: Presidential Proclamation to Restrict Cuban
Immigration from Third Countries
The attached presidential proclamation would suspend the
processing of Cubans' immigrant visa applications in third
countries. The proclamation would suspend processing of
preference immigrants who departed Cuba prior to June 18,
1985. This proclamation would execute one of a number of
actions included in an NSDD which has been forwarded to the
President. This measure is necessary because of efforts by
the Cuban government to encourage its nationals to emigrate
via third countries to circumvent our migration sanctions,
imposed after Cuba suspended the return of the Mariel
excludables. The NSDD balances a number of measures to exert
pressure on Cuba with the initiation of a small program to
admit into the United States long-term Cuban political
prisoners.
0MB is requested to review the proposed proclamation and
forward it to the President.

Rodney B. McLTaniel

CONFIDENTIAL
PROCLAMATION CONCERNING CUBAN IMMIGRATION
In light of the May 20, 1985, statement of the Government of
Cuba that it had decided "to suspend all types of procedures
regarding the execution" of the December 14, 1984, immigra-
tion agreement between the United States and Cuba, thereby
disrupting normal migration procedures between the two
countries, and in light of the continuing failure of the
Government of Cuba to resume normal migration procedures with
the United States while at the same time facilitating illicit
migration to the United States, I have determined that it is
in the interest of the United States as immigrants by Cuban
nationals, pending the restoration of normal migration
procedures between the two countries, with the exceptions
noted below.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, by the authority 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) (the "Act"), having found the unrestricted entry into
the United States as immigrants by Cuban citizens would,
except as provided in section 2, be detrimental t
interests of the United States, do proclaim that:
Section 1. Entry of Cuban nationals as immigrants is hereby
suspended, except as noted in Section 2.
Section 2. The suspension of entry as immigrants contained
in section 1 shall not apply (a) to Cuban nationals applying
for admission to the United States as immediate relatives
under section 201(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(8 U.S.C. 1151(b) and special immigrants described in section
101(a) (27) (A) of the Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a) (27) (A)); (b)
to Cuban nationals applying for admission into the United
States as preference immigrants under section 203(a) of the
Act (8 U.S.C. 1153(a)) at United States consular posts
designated by the Secretary of State for the processing of
Cuban nationals, where the applicant can demonstrate that he
or she departed Cuba prior to June 18, 1985, has remained
outside Cuba since that date, and otherwise qualifies for
preference immigrant status; and (c) in such other cases or
categories of cases as may be designated from time to time by
Secretary of State or his designee.
