                                           The White House,
                                      Washington, November 9, 2000.
Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
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, stating that the Iran emergency 
declared by Executive Order 12170 on November 14, 1979, is to 
continue in effect beyond November 14, 2000, to the Federal 
Register for publication.
    Because our relations with Iran have not yet returned to 
normal, and the process of implementing the January 19, 1981, 
agreements with Iran is still underway, the national emergency 
declared on November 14, 1979, and the measures adopted 
pursuant thereto to deal with that emergency, must continue in 
effect beyond November 14, 2000. Therefore, I have determined 
that it is necessary to continue the national emergency with 
respect to Iran for 1 year.
            Sincerely,
                                                William J. Clinton.
                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


                     Continuation of Iran Emergency

    On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, the 
President declared a national emergency to deal with the threat 
to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the 
United States constituted by the situation in Iran. Since that 
time, notices of the continuation of this national emergency 
have been transmitted annually by the President to the Congress 
and published in the Federal Register. The most recent notice 
appeared in the Federal Register on November 5, 1999. Because 
our relations with Iran have not yet returned to normal, and 
the process of implementing the January 19, 1981, agreements 
with Iran is still underway, the national emergency declared on 
November 14, 1979, must continue in effect beyond November 14, 
2000. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the 
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing 
the national emergency with respect to Iran for 1 year. This 
notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                William J. Clinton.
    The White House, November 9, 2000.
