                Notice of October 25, 2005


                Continuation of National Emergency Regarding the
                Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction

                On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order 12938,
                President Clinton declared a national emergency with
                respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the
                national security, foreign policy, and economy of the
                United States posed by the proliferation of nuclear,
                biological, and chemical weapons (weapons of mass
                destruction) and the means of delivering such weapons.
                On July 28, 1998, the President issued Executive Order
                13094 amending Executive Order 12938 to respond more
                effectively to the worldwide threat of weapons of mass
                destruction proliferation activities. On June 28, 2005,
                I issued Executive Order 13382 which, inter alia,
                further amended Executive Order 12938 to improve our
                ability to combat proliferation. Because the
                proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the
                means of delivering them continues to pose an unusual
                and extraordinary threat to the national security,
                foreign policy, and economy of the United States, the
                national emergency first declared on November 14, 1994,
                must continue in effect beyond November 14, 2005. 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 declared in Executive
                Order 12938, as amended.

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

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    October 25, 2005.
