Notice of March 8, 2007

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Iran

On March 15, 1995, by Executive Order 12957, the President declared a
national emergency with respect to Iran 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, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the actions and
policies of the Government of Iran. On May 6, 1995, the President issued
Executive Order 12959 imposing more comprehensive sanctions to further
respond to this threat, and on August 19, 1997, the President issued
Executive Order 13059 consolidating and clarifying the previous orders.
Because the actions and policies of the Government of Iran continue to
pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security,
foreign policy, and economy of the United States, the national emergency
declared on March 15, 1995, must continue in effect beyond March 15,
2007. 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 Iran. Because the emergency declared
by Executive Order 12957 constitutes an emergency separate from that
declared on November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, this renewal is
distinct from the emergency renewal of November 2006.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted
to the Congress.
GEORGE W. BUSH
THE WHITE HOUSE,
    March 8, 2007.
