                Notice of September 21, 2009

                
 Notice of September 21, 2009--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, the 
                President 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). The 
                President 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 on September 11, 2001, in New York 
                and Pennsylvania and against the Pentagon, and the 
                continuing and immediate threat of further attacks 
                against United States nationals or the United States. 
                Because the actions of 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, 
                2009. 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,

                    September 21, 2009.
