Notice of October 24, 2007

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Situation in
or in Relation to the Democratic Republic of the Congo

On October 27, 2006, by Executive Order 13413, I declared a national
emergency with respect to the situation in or in relation to the
Democratic Republic of the Congo and, pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706), ordered related
measures blocking the property of certain persons contributing to the
conflict in that country. I took this action to deal with the unusual
and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States
constituted by the situation in or in relation to the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, which has been marked by widespread violence and
atrocities that continue to threaten regional stability and was
addressed by the United Nations Security Council in Resolution 1596 of
April 18, 2005, Resolution 1649 of December 21, 2005, and Resolution
1698 of July 31, 2006.
Because this situation continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the foreign policy of the United States, the national
emergency declared on October 27, 2006, and the measures adopted on that
date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond October
27, 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 declared in Executive Order 13413.
