[Federal Register: January 4, 1999 (Volume 64, Number 1)] [Presidential Documents] [Page 381-383] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr04ja99-126] [[Page 381]] _______________________________________________________________________ Part XII The President _______________________________________________________________________ Notice of December 30, 1998--Continuation of Libyan Emergency Presidential Documents ___________________________________________________________________ Title 3-- The President [[Page 383]] Notice of December 30, 1998 Continuation of Libyan Emergency On January 7, 1986, by Executive Order 12543, President Reagan 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 Libya. On January 8, 1986, by Executive Order 12544, the President took additional measures to block Libyan assets in the United States. Every President has transmitted to the Congress and the Federal Register a notice continuing this emergency each year since 1986. The crisis between the United States and Libya that led to the declaration of a national emergency on January 7, 1986, has not been resolved. The Government of Libya has continued its actions and policies in support of terrorism, despite the calls by the United Nations Security Council, in Resolutions 731 (1992), 748 (1992), and 883 (1993), that it demonstrate by concrete actions its renunciation of terrorism. 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 Libya. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. (Presidential Sig.) THE WHITE HOUSE, December 30, 1998.
