                Notice of September 18, 2008

                
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, in Pennsylvania, and against the Pentagon 
                committed on September 11, 2001, and the continuing and 
                immediate threat of further attacks against 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 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, 
                2008. 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 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.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, September 18, 2008
