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.
