                Notice of October 19, 2000

                
Continuation of Emergency With Respect to 
                Significant       Narcotics Traffickers Centered in 
                Colombia

                On October 21, 1995, by Executive Order 12978, I 
                declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual 
                and extraordinary threat to the national security, 
                foreign policy, and economy of the United States 
                constituted by the actions of significant narcotics 
                traffickers centered in Colombia, and the unparalleled 
                violence, corruption, and harm they cause in the United 
                States and abroad. The order blocks all property and 
                interests in property of foreign persons listed in an 
                Annex to the order, as well as persons determined to 
                play a significant role in international narcotics 
                trafficking centered in Colombia, to materially assist 
                in, or provide financial or technological support for 
                or goods or services in support of, narcotics 
                trafficking activities of persons designated in or 
                pursuant to the order, or to be owned or controlled by, 
                or to act for or on behalf of, persons designated in or 
                pursuant to the order. The order also prohibits any 
                transaction or dealing by United States persons or 
                within the United States in such property or interests 
                in property. Because the activities of significant 
                narcotics traffickers centered in Colombia continue to 
                threaten the national security, foreign policy, and 
                economy of the United States and to cause unparalleled 
                violence, corruption, and harm in the United States and 
                abroad, the national emergency declared on October 21, 
                1995, and the measures adopted pursuant thereto to deal 
                with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond 
                October 21, 2000. Therefore, in accordance with section 
                202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 
                1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency for 1 
                year with respect to significant narcotics traffickers 
                centered in Colombia. This notice shall be published in 
                the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                     October 19, 2000.
