                                -------                                

                    U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE

To the Congress of the United States:
    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, stating that the Sudanese emergency is to continue in 
effect beyond November 3, 1999, to the Federal Register for 
publication.
    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 efforts to destabilize 
neighboring governments, 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.
                                                William J. Clinton.
    The White House, October 29, 1999.



                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


                   Continuation of Sudanese Emergency

    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, 1999. 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 29, 1999.
