                                           The White House,
                                      Washington, October 27, 1998.
Hon. Newt Gingrich,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: Section 202(d) of the National 
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic 
termination of a national emergency unless, prior to the 
anniversary date of its declaration, the President publishes in 
the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice 
stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the 
anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have 
sent the enclosed notice to the Federal Register for 
publication, stating that the Sudanese emergency is to continue 
in effect beyond November 3, 1998.
    The crisis between the United States and Sudan that led to 
the declaration on November 3, 1997, of a national emergency 
has not been resolved. The Government of Sudan continues to 
support international terrorism and engage in human rights 
violations, including the denial of religious freedom. Such 
Sudanese actions pose a continuing unusual and extraordinary 
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 
United States. For these reasons, I have determined that it is 
necessary to maintain in force the broad authorities necessary 
to apply economic pressure on the Government of Sudan.
            Sincerely,
                                                William J. Clinton.
                                 NOTICE

                              ----------                              


            Continuation of Emergency With Respect to Sudan

    On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, I declared a 
national emergency 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. By Executive Order 13067, I imposed trade 
sanctions on Sudan and blocked Sudanese government assets. 
Because the Government of Sudan has continued its activities 
hostile to United States interests, 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, 1998. 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 
Sudan.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                William J. Clinton.
    The White House, October 27, 1998.
