    Message to the Congress Transmitting the Notice on Continuation of Iran
    Emergency
    November 1, 1993

    To the Congress of the United States:
        Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d))
    provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless,
    prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President
    publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice
    stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the
    anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent the
    enclosed notice, stating that the Iran emergency is to continue in
    effect beyond November 14, 1993, to the Federal Register for
    publication. Similar notices have been sent annually to the Congress and
    the Federal Register since November 12, 1980. The most recent notice
    appeared in the Federal Register on October 28, 1992.
        The crisis between the United States and Iran that began in 1979 has
    not been fully resolved. The international tribunal established to
    adjudicate claims of the United States and U.S. nationals against the
    Iranian government and Iranian nationals against the United States
    continues to function, and normalization of commercial and diplomatic
    relations between the United States and Iran has not been achieved. In
    these circumstances, I have determined that it is necessary to maintain
    in force the broad authorities that are needed in the process of
    implementing the January 1981 agreements with Iran and in the eventual
    normalization of relations with that country.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,
    November 1, 1993.
