To the Congress of the United States: 

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 to the Federal Register for publication the enclosed notice stating that the national emergency and related measures 

blocking the property of certain persons undermining democratic 

processes or institutions in Belarus are to continue in effect beyond 

June 16, 2007. 

The actions and policies of certain members of the Government 

of Belarus and other persons pose a continuing unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 

United States. These actions include undermining democratic processes or institutions; committing human rights abuses related to 

political repression, including detentions and disappearances; and 

engaging in public corruption, including by diverting or misusing 

Belarusian public assets or by misusing public authority. For these 

reasons, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency and related measures blocking the property of 

certain persons with respect to Belarus. 

GEORGE W. BUSH. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, June 14, 2007.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY BLOCKING PROPERTY

OF CERTAIN PERSONS UNDERMINING DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES OR

INSTITUTIONS IN BELARUS

On June 16, 2006, by Executive Order 13405, I declared a national emergency and ordered related measures blocking the property of certain persons undermining democratic processes or institutions in Belarus, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706). I took this action in response to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Belarus 

and other persons that have undermined democratic processes or 

institutions; committed human rights abuses related to political repression, including detentions and disappearances; and engaged in 

public corruption, including by diverting or misusing Belarusian 

public assets or by misusing public authority. 

Because these actions and policies continue to pose an unusual 

and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy 

of the United States, the national emergency declared on June 16, 

2006, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that 

emergency, must continue in effect beyond June 16, 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 13405. 

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

GEORGE W. BUSH. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, June 14, 2007.
