                Notice of July 31, 1997

                
Continuation of Iraqi Emergency

                On August 2, 1990, by Executive Order 12722, President 
                Bush declared a national emergency to deal with the 
                unusual and extraordinary threat to national security 
                and foreign policy of the United States constituted by 
                the actions and policies of the Government of Iraq. By 
                Executive Orders 12722 of August 2, 1990, and 12724 of 
                August 9, 1990, the President imposed trade sanctions 
                on Iraq and blocked Iraqi government assets. Because 
                the Government of Iraq has continued its activities 
                hostile to United States interests in the Middle East, 
                the national emergency declared on August 2, 1990, and 
                the measures adopted on August 2 and August 9, 1990, to 
                deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond 
                August 2, 1997. 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 Iraq.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    July 31, 1997.
