NOTIFICATION THAT THE CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH
RESPECT TO SUDAN IS TO CONTINUE IN EFFECT BEYOND NOVEMBER 3, 2007,
PURSUANT TO 50 U.S.C. 1622(d)
<GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT>
November 1, 2007.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed
To the Congress of the United States:
The crisis constituted by the actions and policies of the
Government of Sudan that led to the declaration of a national
emergency in Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997, and the
expansion of that emergency in Executive Order 13400 of April
26, 2006, and with respect to which additional steps were taken
in Executive Order 13412 of October 13, 2006, has not been
resolved. These actions and policies are hostile to U.S.
interests and pose a continuing unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the
United States. Therefore, I have determined that it is
necessary to continue the national emergency declared with
respect to Sudan and maintain in force the comprehensive
sanctions against Sudan to respond to this threat.
Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C.
1622(d)) provides for the automatic termination of a national
emergency unless, prior to the anniversary date of its
declaration, the President publishes in the Federal Register
and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that the
emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date.
In accordance with this provision, I have sent the enclosed
notice to the Federal Register for publication, stating that
the Sudan emergency is to continue in effect beyond November 3,
2007.
George W. Bush.
The White House, November 1, 2007.
Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Sudan
On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to Sudan,
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 policies of the
Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, in Executive Order
13400, I determined that the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region
posed an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States, expanded the
scope of the national emergency to deal with that threat, and
ordered the blocking of property of certain persons connected
to the conflict. On October 13, 2006, I issued Executive Order
13412 to take additional steps with respect to the national
emergency and to implement the Darfur Peace and Accountability
Act of 2006.
Because the actions and policies of the Government of Sudan
continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security and foreign policy of the United States, the
national emergency declared on November 3, 1997, as expanded on
April 26, 2006, must continue in effect beyond November 3,
2007. Therefore, consistent 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 Sudan.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
George W. Bush.
The White House, November 1, 2007.
