                Notice of May 20, 2008

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to the Stabilization of Iraq

                On May 22, 2003, by Executive Order 13303, I declared a 
                national emergency protecting the Development Fund for 
                Iraq and certain other property in which Iraq has an 
                interest, pursuant to the International Emergency 
                Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) (IEEPA). I 
                took this action to deal with the unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security and 
                foreign policy of the United States posed by obstacles 
                to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration 
                and maintenance of peace and security in the country, 
                and the development of political, administrative, and 
                economic institutions in Iraq.

                In Executive Order 13315 of August 28, 2003, Executive 
                Order 13350 of July 29, 2004, Executive Order 13364 of 
                November 29, 2004, and Executive Order 13438 of July 
                17, 2007, I modified the scope of the national 
                emergency declared in Executive Order 13303 and amended 
                the steps taken pursuant to it.

                Because the obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of 
                Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and 
                security in the country, and the development of 
                political, administrative, and economic institutions in 
                Iraq continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary 
                threat to the national security and foreign policy of 
                the United States, the national emergency declared on 
                May 22, 2003, and the measures adopted on that date, 
                August 28, 2003, July 29, 2004, November 29, 2004, and 
                July 17, 2007, to deal with that emergency must 
                continue in effect beyond May 22, 2008. 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 the 
                stabilization of Iraq.
