                Notice of October 30, 2008

                
Continuation of the National Emergency with 
                Respect to the Situation in or in Relation to Sudan

                On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, a 
                national emergency was declared 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, in Executive Order 13400, I determined 
                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, 
                expanded the scope of the national emergency to deal 
                with that threat, and ordered the blocking of property 
                of certain persons connected to the conflict. On 
                October 13, 2006, I issued Executive Order 13412 to 
                take additional steps with respect to the national 
                emergency and to implement the Darfur Peace and 
                Accountability Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-344).

                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, 2008. 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,

                    October 30, 2008.
