THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, November 1, 2004. 

Hon. J. DENNIS HASTERT, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: 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. Consistent with 

this provision, I have sent the enclosed notice, stating that the 

Sudan emergency is to continue in effect beyond November 3, 2004, 

to the Federal Register for publication. The most recent notice continuing this emergency was published in the Federal Register on 

October 31, 2003 (68 FR 62211). 

The crisis between the United States and Sudan constituted by 

the actions and policies of the Government of Sudan 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. 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. 

Sincerely, 

GEORGE W. BUSH.

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. 

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, 2004. 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, 2004.
