                   THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

                              transmitting

 A NOTICE STATING THAT THE IRAN EMERGENCY DECLARED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER 
  12170 ON NOVEMBER 14, 1979 IS TO CONTINUE BEYOND NOVEMBER 14, 2001, 
                     PURSUANT TO 50 U.S.C. 1622(d)

  November 13, 2001.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the 
     Committee on International Relations and ordered to be printed
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 the enclosed 
notice, stating that the Iran emergency declared by Executive 
Order 12170 on November 14, 1979, is to continue in effect 
beyond November 14, 2001, to the Federal Register for 
publication. The most recent notice continuing this emergency 
was published in the Federal Register on November 13, 2000 (65 
Fed. Reg. 68061).
    Our relations with Iran have not yet returned to normal, 
and the process of implementing the January 19, 1981, 
agreements with Iran is still underway. For these reasons, I 
have determined that it is necessary to continue the national 
emergency declared on November 14, 1979, with respect to Iran, 
beyond November 14, 2001.

                                                    George W. Bush.
    The White House, November 9, 2001.
                                 Notice

                              ----------                              

                     Continuation of Iran Emergency

    On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, 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 situation in Iran. Because 
our relations with Iran have not yet returned to normal, and 
the process of implementing the January 19, 1981, agreements 
with Iran is still underway, the national emergency declared on 
November 14, 1979, must continue in effect beyond November 14, 
2001. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the 
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing 
for 1 year this national emergency with respect to Iran.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                    George W. Bush.
    The White House, November 9, 2001.
