 CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO IRAN--MESSAGE 
     FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 109-150)

  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following message from the 
President of the United States; which was read and, together with the 
accompanying papers, 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 that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the 
anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent the 
enclosed notice to the Federal Register for publication, stating that 
the Iran emergency declared in Executive Order on November 14, 1979, is 
to continue in effect beyond November 14, 2006.
       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. For these reasons, I 
     have determined that it is necessary to continue for 1 year 
     the national emergency declared on November 14, 1979, with 
     respect to Iran.
                                                      George W. Bush.  
The White House, November 9, 2006.
