    Notice of the Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to
    Libya
    January 2, 1991

        On January 7, 1986, by Executive Order No. 12543, President Reagan
    declared a national emergency 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 Libya. On
    January 8, 1986, by Executive Order No. 12544, the President took
    additional measures to block Libyan assets in the United States. The
    President transmitted a notice continuing this
    emergency to the Congress and the Federal Register in 1986, 1987, 1988,
    and 1989. Because the Government of Libya has continued its actions and
    policies in support of international terrorism, the national emergency
    declared on January 7, 1986, and the measures adopted on January 7 and
    January 8, 1986, to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect
    beyond January

    Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national
    emergency with respect to Libya. This notice shall be published in the
    Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
