Notice on Continuation of Emergency Regarding Chemical and Biological 
Weapons Proliferation
November 11, 1992

    On November 16, 1990, consistent with the authority provided me 
under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, 
et seq.), I issued Executive Order No. 12735. In that order, I declared 
a national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary 
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States 
posed by the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons. Because

the proliferation of these weapons continues to pose an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 
United States, the national emergency declared on November 16, 1990, 
must continue in effect beyond November 16, 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 declared in 
Executive Order No. 12735.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                             George Bush
