Bill Clinton actually said...

"I urge the Congress to enact legislation providing for such an increase, and if Congress fails to act, I will use my executive authority to guarantee that a 3.6 increase takes effect."

"I have authorized these actions in view of the danger posed to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States."

"The order also prohibits any transaction by a United States person that evades or avoids any of the prohibitions set forth in the order."

"I have exercised my statutory authority and issued an Executive order which blocks property and property interests of UNITA."
