For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary

Notice: Continuation of Sudan Emergency
Continuation of Sudan Emergency
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, including continuing concern about
its record on terrorism and the prevalence of human rights viola-tions,
including slavery, restrictions on religious freedom, and restrictions
on political freedom. 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, 2001. 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 Sudan.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
GEORGE W. BUSH
THE WHITE HOUSE,
October 31, 2001.
