                Notice of September 10, 2003

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to

                Certain Terrorist Attacks

                Consistent with section 202(d) of the National 
                Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing 
                for 1 year the national emergency I declared on 
                September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect 
                to the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, New 
                York, New York, and the Pentagon, and the continuing 
                and immediate threat of further attacks on the United 
                States.

                By Executive Order 13223 of September 14, 2001, and 
                Executive Order 13253 of January 16, 2002, I delegated 
                authority to the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary 
                of Transportation to order members of the Reserve 
                Components to active duty and to waive certain 
                statutory military personnel requirements. By Executive 
                Order 13235 of November 16, 2001, I delegated authority 
                to the Secretary of Defense to exercise certain 
                emergency construction authority. By Executive Order 
                13286 of February 28, 2003, I transferred the authority 
                delegated to the Secretary of Transportation in 
                Executive Order 13223 to the Secretary of Homeland 
                Security.

                Because the terrorist threat continues, the national 
                emergency declared on September 14, 2001, and the 
                measures taken on September 14, 2001, November 16, 
                2001, and January 16, 2002, to deal with that 
                emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 14, 
                2003. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an 
                additional year the national emergency I declared on 
                September 14, 2001, with respect to the terrorist 
                threat.

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

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    September 10, 2003.
