                Notice of October 16, 2001

                
Continuation of Emergency With Respect to 
                Significant

                Narcotics Traffickers Centered in Colombia

                On October 21, 1995, by Executive Order 12978, the 
                President declared a national emergency to deal with 
                the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
                security, foreign policy, and economy of the United 
                States constituted by the actions of significant 
                narcotics traffickers centered in Colombia, and the 
                unparalleled violence, corruption, and harm such 
                actions cause in the United States and abroad. The 
                order blocks all property and interests in property 
                that are in the United States or within the possession 
                or control of United States persons or foreign persons 
                listed in an annex to the order, as well as of foreign 
                persons determined to play a significant role in 
                international narcotics trafficking centered in 
                Colombia. The order similarly blocks all property and 
                interests in property of foreign persons determined to 
                materially assist in, or provide financial or 
                technological support for, or goods or services in 
                support of, the narcotics trafficking activities of 
                persons designated in or pursuant to the order, or 
                persons determined to be owned or controlled by, or to 
                act for or on behalf of, persons designated in or 
                pursuant to the order. The order also prohibits any 
                transaction or dealing by United States persons or 
                within the United States in such property or interests 
                in property. Because the actions of significant 
                narcotics traffickers centered in Colombia continue to 
                threaten the national security, foreign policy, and 
                economy of the United States and to cause unparalleled 
                violence, corruption, and harm in the United States and 
                abroad, the national emergency declared on October 21, 
                1995, and the measures adopted pursuant thereto to deal 
                with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond 
                October 21, 2001. Therefore, in accordance with section 
                202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 
                1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency for 1 
                year with respect to significant narcotics traffickers 
                centered in Colombia. This notice shall be published in 
                the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                     October 16, 2001.
