                Notice of July 31, 2003

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Iraq

                On August 2, 1990, by Executive Order 12722, President 
                Bush declared a national emergency with respect to Iraq 
                pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers 
                Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) 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 Iraq--the 
                Saddam Hussein regime. 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. Additional measures were taken 
                with respect to this national emergency by Executive 
                Order 13290 of March 20, 2003. Because of the continued 
                instability in Iraq, the United States and Coalition 
                partners' role as the temporary authority in Iraq, and 
                the need to ensure the establishment of a process 
                leading to representative Iraqi self-rule, the national 
                emergency declared on August 2, 1990, and the measures 
                adopted on August 2 and August 9, 1990, and March 20, 
                2003, to deal with that emergency must continue in 
                effect beyond August 2, 2003. Therefore, in accordance 
                with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 
                U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the 
                national emergency with respect to Iraq.

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

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    July 31, 2003.
