                Notice of November 1, 2006

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Sudan

                On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the 
                President declared a national emergency with respect to 
                Sudan 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 Sudan. On April 26, 2006, by Executive 
                Order 13400, I expanded the national emergency by 
                determining that the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region 
                posed an unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
                national security and foreign policy of the United 
                States, and I ordered the blocking of property of 
                certain persons connected to that conflict. On October 
                13, 2006, I issued Executive Order 13412 to amend the 
                comprehensive sanctions with respect to Sudan set forth 
                in Executive Order 13067.

                Because the actions and policies of the Government of 
                Sudan continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary 
                threat to the national security and foreign policy of 
                the United States, the national emergency declared on 
                November 3, 1997, as expanded on April 26, 2006, must 
                continue in effect beyond November 3, 2006. 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 
                Sudan.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    November 1, 2006.
