To the Congress of the United States: 

The crisis constituted by the actions and policies of the Government of Sudan that led to the declaration of a national emergency 

in Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997, and the expansion 

of that emergency in Executive Order 13400 of April 26, 2006, and 

with respect to which additional steps were taken in Executive 

Order 13412 of October 13, 2006, 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. Therefore, 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. 

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 to the Federal Register for publication, stating that the Sudan emergency is to continue in effect beyond November 3, 2007. 

GEORGE W. BUSH. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, November 1, 2007.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

SUDAN

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. 

On April 26, 2006, in Executive Order 13400, I determined that the 

conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region posed an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 

United States, expanded the scope of the national emergency to 

deal with that threat, and ordered the blocking of property of certain persons connected to the conflict. On October 13, 2006, I 

issued Executive Order 13412 to take additional steps with respect 

to the national emergency and to implement the Darfur Peace and 

Accountability Act of 2006. 

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, as expanded on April 26, 

2006, must continue in effect beyond November 3, 2007. Therefore, 

consistent 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, November 1, 2007.
