                Notice of November 10, 2008

                
Continuation of National Emergency with Respect 
                to Weapons of Mass Destruction

                On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order 12938, the 
                President declared a national emergency with respect to 
                the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
                security, foreign policy, and economy of the United 
                States posed by the proliferation of nuclear, 
                biological, and chemical weapons (weapons of mass 
                destruction) and the means of delivering such weapons. 
                On July 28, 1998, the President issued Executive Order 
                13094 amending Executive Order 12938 to respond more 
                effectively to the worldwide threat of weapons of mass 
                destruction proliferation activities. On June 28, 2005, 
                I issued Executive Order 13382 that, inter alia, 
                further amended Executive Order 12938 to improve our 
                ability to combat proliferation. The proliferation of 
                weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering 
                them continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary 
                threat to the national security, foreign policy, and 
                economy of the United States; therefore, the national 
                emergency first declared on November 14, 1994, and 
                extended in each subsequent year, must continue. 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 declared in Executive 
                Order 12938, as amended.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    November 10, 2008.
