    I am profoundly saddened by the terrible loss of life in the train 
fire in Al-Avyat. This tragedy is all the more horrible because it took 
place during the holiday of Eid al-Adha. Laura and I and all of the 
American people offer our deepest sympathy and condolences to President 
Mubarak, the Egyptian people, and especially to those families who have 
lost loved ones.

Proclamation 7524--Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants 
of Persons Responsible for Actions That Threaten Zimbabwe's Democratic 
Institutions and Transition to a Multi-Party Democracy

 February 22, 2002

 By the President of the United States

 of America

 A Proclamation

    In light of the political and humanitarian crisis in Zimbabwe and 
the continued failure of President Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwean government 
officials, and others to support the rule of law, and given the 
importance to the United States of fostering democratic institutions in 
Zimbabwe, I have determined that it is in the interest of the United 
States to take all available measures to restrict the international 
travel and to suspend the entry into the United States, as immigrants or 
nonimmigrants, of senior members of the government of Robert Mugabe and 
others detailed below who formulate, implement, or benefit from policies 
that undermine or injure Zimbabwe's democratic institutions or impede 
the transition to a multi-party democracy.
    Now, Therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of 
America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of 
the United States, including section 212(f) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act of 1952, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f), and section 301 of title 3, 
United States Code, hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant and 
nonimmigrant entry into the United States of persons described in 
section 1 of this proclamation would, except as provided for in sections 
2 and 3 of this proclamation, be detrimental to the interests of the 
United States.
    I therefore hereby proclaim that:
    Section 1. The entry into the United States, as immigrants or 
nonimmigrants, of the following persons is hereby suspended:
    (a) Senior members of the government of Robert Mugabe and other 
Zimbabwe nationals who formulate, implement, or benefit from policies 
that undermine or injure Zimbabwe's democratic institutions or impede 
the transition to a multi-party democracy;
    (b) Persons who through their business dealings with Zimbabwe 
government officials derive significant financial benefit from policies 
that undermine or injure Zimbabwe's democratic institutions or impede 
the transition to a multi-party democracy; and
    (c) The spouses of persons described in paragraphs (a) and (b), 
above.
    Sec. 2. Section 1 of this proclamation shall not apply with respect 
to any person otherwise covered by section 1 where entry of such person 
would not be contrary to the interest of the United States.
    Sec. 3. Persons covered by sections 1 and 2 of this proclamation 
shall be identified by the Secretary of State or the Secretary's 
designee, in his or her sole discretion, pursuant

[[Page 286]]

to such procedures as the Secretary may establish under section 5 of 
this proclamation.
    Sec. 4. Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed to derogate 
from United States Government obligations under applicable international 
agreements.
    Sec. 5. The Secretary of State shall have responsibility for 
implementing this proclamation pursuant to such procedures as the 
Secretary may establish.
    Sec. 6. This proclamation is effective immediately and shall remain 
in effect until such time as the Secretary of State determines that it 
is no longer necessary and should be terminated, either in whole or in 
part. Any such termination shall become effective upon publication in 
the Federal Register.
    In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second 
day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand two, and of the 
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-
sixth.
                                                George W. Bush

 [Filed with the Office of the Federal Register, 10:51 a.m., February 
25, 2002]

Note: This proclamation was published in the Federal Register on 
February 26. This item was not received in time for publication in the

The President's Radio Address

February 23, 2002

    Good morning. As I return from a successful trip to Asia, the United 
States Senate will return from its recess for an important debate on 
America's energy security.
    As our economy continues to grow, U.S. oil consumption is projected 
to increase by about one-third during the next 20 years. Our demand for 
electricity is expected to rise by 45 percent. America is already using 
more energy than our domestic resources can provide, and unless we act 
to increase our energy independence, our reliance on foreign sources of 
energy will only increase. I have a balanced, comprehensive, and 
aggressive energy plan that will help address this challenge.
    The plan has five main parts:
    First, it promotes conservation. It increases funding for energy 
efficiency and renewable energy programs and supports the development of 
fuel-efficient vehicles.
    Second, my plan will modernize our energy delivery systems. America 
can't meet tomorrow's energy needs with yesterday's infrastructure. Just 
as the Internet has made our information more convenient, new technology
