                Notice of July 30, 2002

 
                Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Iraq

                On August 2, 1990, by Executive Order 12722, President 
                Bush declared a national emergency with respect to Iraq 
                pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers 
                Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security and 
                foreign policy of the United States constituted by the 
                actions and polices of the Government of Iraq. By 
                Executive Orders 12722 of August 2, 1990, and 12724 of 
                August 9, 1990, the President imposed trade sanctions 
                on Iraq and blocked Iraqi government assets. Because 
                the Government of Iraq has continued to engage in 
                activities hostile to U.S. interests, the national 
                emergency declared on August 2, 1990, and the measures 
                adopted on August 2 and August 9, 1990, to deal with 
                that emergency must continue in effect beyond August 2, 
                2002. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of 
                the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am 
                continuing for 1 year the national emergency with 
                respect to Iraq.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                     July 30, 2002.
