For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
August 16, 2002
Notice: Continuation of Emergency Regarding Export Control Regulations
On August 17, 2001, consistent with the authority provided me under
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et
seq .), I issued Executive Order 13222. In that order, I declared a
national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat
to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States in light of the expiration of the Export Administration Act of
1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2401 et seq .). Because the Export
Administration Act has not been renewed by the Congress, the national
emergency declared on August 17, 2001, must continue in effect beyond
August 17, 2002. 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 declared in Executive Order 13222.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
GEORGE W. BUSH
THE WHITE HOUSE,
August 14, 2002.
