                                MESSAGE

                                  FROM

                   THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

                              transmitting

 NOTIFICATION THAT THE SUDAN EMERGENCY IS TO CONTINUE IN EFFECT BEYOND 
            NOVEMBER 3, 2001, PURSUANT TO 50 U.S.C. 1622(d)

  November 5, 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 Sudan emergency is to continue in 
effect beyond November 3, 2001, to the Federal Register for 
publication. The most recent notice continuing this emergency 
was published in the Federal Register on November 2, 2000 (65 
Fed. Reg. 66163).
    The crisis between the United States and Sudan constituted 
by the actions and policies of the Government of Sudan, 
including continuing concern about its record on terrorism and 
the prevalence of human rights violations, including slavery, 
restrictions on religious freedom, and restrictions on 
political freedom, that led to the declaration of a national 
emergency on November 3, 1997, 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. For these 
reasons, 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.

                                                    George W. Bush.
    The White House, October 31, 2001.
                                 Notice

                    Continuation of Sudan Emergency

    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, including continuing concern about its 
record on terrorism and the prevalence of human rights 
violations, including slavery, restrictions on religious 
freedom, and restrictions on political freedom. 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, and the measures 
adopted on that date to deal with that emergency must continue 
in effect beyond November 3, 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 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, October 31, 2001.
