NOTIFICATION THAT THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY DECLARED WITH RESPECT TO SUDAN 
IS TO CONTINUE IN EFFECT BEYOND NOVEMBER 3, 2003, PURSUANT TO 50 U.S.C. 
                                1622(d)




October 30, 2003.--Referred to the Committee on International Relations 
                       and ordered to be printed
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 the emergency is 
to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date. Consistent 
with this provision, I have sent the enclosed notice, stating 
the Sudan emergency is to continue in effect beyond November 3, 
2003, to the Federal Register for publication. The most recent 
notice continuing this emergency was published in the Federal 
Register on October 31, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 66525).
    The crisis between the United States and Sudan constituted 
by the actions and policies of the Government of Sudan that led 
to the declaration of a national emergency on November 3, 1997, 
has not been resolved. These actions and policies are hostile 
to U.S. interests and pose a continuing unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign 
policy of the United States. Therefore, I have determined it is 
necessary to continue the national emergency declared with 
respect to Sudan and maintain in force the comprehensive 
sanctions against Sudan to respond to this threat.

                                                    George W. Bush.
    The White House, 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.
