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. z9x, Rodney B.

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.
