[Federal Register: July 23, 1999 (Volume 64, Number 141)] [Presidential Documents] [Page 39897] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr23jy99-159] Presidential Documents ___________________________________________________________________ Title 3-- The President [[Page 39897]] Notice of July 20, 1999 Continuation of Iraqi Emergency On August 2, 1990, by Executive Order 12722, President Bush declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies 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 its activities hostile to United States interests in the Middle East, 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, 1999. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency with respect to Iraq. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. (Presidential Sig.) THE WHITE HOUSE, July 20, 1999.
