U.S. GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE
89-011 WASHINGTON : 2018
The White House,
Washington, October 31, 2018.
Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
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, within 90 days
before 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 national emergency with
respect to Sudan declared in Executive Order 13067 of November
3, 1997, is to continue in effect beyond November 3, 2018.
Despite recent positive developments, the crisis
constituted by the actions and policies of the Government of
Sudan that led to the declaration of a national emergency in
Executive Order 13067; the expansion of that emergency in
Executive Order 13400 of April 26, 2006; and with respect to
which additional steps were taken in Executive Order 13412 of
October 13, 2006, Executive Order 13761 of January 13, 2017,
and Executive Order 13804 of July 11, 2017, has not been
resolved. These actions and policies continue to pose an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States. Therefore, I have
determined that it is necessary to continue the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13067, as expanded by
Executive Order 13400, with respect to Sudan.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump.
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) and took related steps to deal with the
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States posed by the actions and
policies of the Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, by
Executive Order 13400, the President determined that the
conflict in Sudan's Darfur region posed an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign
policy of the United States, expanded the scope of the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13067, and ordered the
blocking of property of certain persons connected to the Darfur
region. On October 13, 2006, by Executive Order 13412, the
President took additional steps with respect to the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13067 and expanded in
Executive Order 13400. In Executive Order 13412, the President
also took steps to implement the Darfur Peace and
Accountability Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-344).
On January 13, 2017, by Executive Order 13761, the
President found that positive efforts by the Government of
Sudan between July 2016 and January 2017 improved certain
conditions that Executive Orders 13067 and 13412 were intended
to address. Given these developments, and in order to encourage
the Government of Sudan to sustain and enhance these efforts,
section 1 of Executive Order 13761 provided that sections 1 and
2 of Executive Order 13067 and the entirety of Executive Order
13412 would be revoked as of July 12, 2017, provided that the
criteria in section 12(b) of Executive Order 13761 had been
met.
On July 11, 2017, by Executive Order 13804, I amended
Executive Order 13761, extending until October 12, 2017, the
effective date in section 1 of Executive Order 13761. On
October 12, 2017, pursuant to Executive Order 13761, as amended
by Executive Order 13804, sections 1 and 2 of Executive Order
13067 and the entirety of Executive Order 13412 were revoked.
Despite recent positive developments, the crisis
constituted by the actions and policies of the Government of
Sudan that led to the declaration of a national emergency in
Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997; the expansion of
that emergency in Executive Order 13400 of April 26, 2006; and
with respect to which additional steps were taken in Executive
Order 13412 of October 13, 2006, Executive Order 13761 of
January 13, 2017, and Executive Order 13804 of July 11, 2017,
has not been resolved. These actions and policies continue to
pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States. I have,
therefore, determined that it is necessary to continue the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13067, as
expanded by Executive Order 13400, with respect to Sudan.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, October 31, 2018.
