                Notice of November 10, 2008

                
Continuation of the National Emergency with 
                Respect to Iran

                On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, the 
                President declared a national emergency with respect to 
                Iran 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, foreign policy, and economy of the United 
                States constituted by the situation in Iran. Because 
                our relations with Iran have not yet returned to 
                normal, and the process of implementing the January 19, 
                1981, agreements with Iran is still underway, the 
                national emergency declared on November 14, 1979, must 
                continue in effect beyond November 14, 2008. Therefore, 
                consistent with section 202(d) of the National 
                Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing 
                for 1 year this national emergency with respect to 
                Iran.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    November 10, 2008.
