                Notice of September 18, 2003

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to

                Persons Who Commit, Threaten To Commit, or Support

                Terrorism

                On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, I 
                declared a national emergency with respect to persons 
                who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism, 
                pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers 
                Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706). I took this action to deal 
                with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
                national security, foreign policy, and economy of the 
                United States constituted by the grave acts of 
                terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign 
                terrorists, including the terrorist attacks in New 
                York, Pennsylvania, and on the Pentagon committed on 
                September 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate 
                threat of further attacks on United States nationals or 
                the United States. Because the actions of these persons 
                who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism 
                continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to 
                the national security, foreign policy, and economy of 
                the United States, the national emergency declared on 
                September 23, 2001, and the measures adopted on that 
                date to deal with that emergency, must continue in 
                effect beyond September 23, 2003. Therefore, 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 with respect to persons who commit, 
                threaten to commit, or support terrorism.

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

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    September 18, 2003.
