CONTINUATION OF

NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH SUDAN

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

(1)

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.

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.
