Notice on Continuation of Iran Emergency
October 25, 1992

    On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order No. 12170, the President 
declared a national emergency to deal with the threat to the national 
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted 
by the situation in Iran. Notices of the continuation of this national 
emergency have been transmitted annually by the President to the 
Congress and the Federal Register, most recently on November 12, 1991. 
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, 1992. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 
U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency with respect to 
Iran. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.
