   A CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY REGARDING EXPORT CONTROL 
               REGULATIONS, PURSUANT TO 50 U.S.C. 1622(d)




    July 24, 2008.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the 
         Committee on Foreign Affairs 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 that the 
emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date. 
In accordance with this provision, I have sent to the Federal 
Register for publication the enclosed notice, stating that the 
emergency caused by the lapse of the Export Administration Act 
of 1979, as amended, is to continue in effect for 1 year beyond 
August 17, 2008.

                                                    George W. Bush.
    The White House, July 23, 2008.
                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


     Continuation of Emergency Regarding Export Control Regulations

    On August 17, 2001, consistent with the authority provided 
to me under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), I issued Executive Order 13222. In that 
order, I declared a national emergency with respect to the 
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, 
foreign policy, and economy of the United States in light of 
the expiration of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as 
amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2401 et seq.). Because the Export 
Administration Act has not been renewed by the Congress, the 
national emergency declared on August 17, 2001, must continue 
in effect beyond August 17, 2008. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 
1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency 
declared in Executive Order 13222.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                    George W. Bush.
    The White House, July 23, 2008.
