                Notice of December 29, 1999

                
Continuation of Libyan Emergency

                On January 7, 1986, by Executive Order 12543, former 
                President Reagan declared a national emergency 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 Libya. On January 8, 1986, by Executive 
                Order 12544, the President took additional measures to 
                block Libyan assets in the United States. The President 
                has transmitted a notice continuing this emergency to 
                the Congress and the Federal Register every year since 
                1986.

                The crisis between the United States and Libya that led 
                to the declaration of a national emergency on January 
                7, 1986, has not been resolved. Despite the United 
                Nations Security Council's suspension of U.N. sanctions 
                against Libya upon the Libyan government's hand over of 
                the Pan Am 103 bombing suspects, there are still 
                concerns about the Libyan government's support for 
                terrorist activities and its noncompliance with United 
                Nations Security Council Resolutions 731 (1992), 748 
                (1992), and 88 (1993).

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

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    December 29, 1999.
