For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
October 29, 2003
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, 2003. 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,
October 29, 2003.
