    Message to the Congress Reporting on the Proliferation of
    Weapons of Mass Destruction
    February 16, 1995

    To the Congress of the United States:
        On September 29, 1994, in Executive Order No. 12930, I declared a
    national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act
    (IEEPA) (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to deal with the threat to the national
    security,

    foreign policy, and economy of the United States posed by the continued
    proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, and their
    means of delivery. Specifically, this order provided necessary authority
    under the Enhanced Proliferation Control Initiative (EPCI), as provided
    in the Export Administration Regulations, set forth in Title 15, Chapter
    VII, Subchapter C, of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 768 to 799
    inclusive, to continue to regulate the activities of United States
    persons in order to prevent their participation in activities that could
    contribute to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their
    delivery means.
        I issued Executive Order No. 12930 pursuant to the authority vested
    in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of
    America, including the IEEPA, the National Emergencies Act (NEA) (50
    U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3 of the United States
    Code. At that time, I also submitted a report to the Congress pursuant
    to section 204(b) of the IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)).
        Executive Order No. 12930 was revoked by Executive Order No. 12938
    of November 14, 1994. Executive Order No. 12938 consolidates a number of
    authorities and eliminated certain redundant authorities. All
    authorities contained in Executive Order No. 12930 were transferred to
    Executive Order No. 12938.
        Section 204 of the IEEPA requires follow-up reports, with respect to
    actions or changes, to be submitted every 6 months. Additionally,
    section 401(c) of the NEA requires that the President: (1) within 90
    days after the end of each 6-month period following a declaration of a
    national emergency, report to the Congress on the total expenditures
    directly attributable to that declaration; or (2) within 90 days after
    the termination of an emergency, transmit a final report to the Congress
    on all expenditures. This report, covering the period from September 29,
    1994, to November 14, 1994, is submitted in compliance with these
    requirements.
        Since the issuance of Executive Order No. 12930, the Department of
    Commerce has continued to administer and enforce the provisions
    contained in the Export Administration Regulations concerning activities
    by United States persons that may contribute to the proliferation of
    weapons of mass destruction and missiles. In addition, the Department of
    Commerce has conducted ongoing outreach to educate concerned communities
    regarding these restrictions. Regulated activities may include
    financing, servicing, contracting, or other facilitation of missile or
    weapons projects, and need not be linked to exports or reexports of
    U.S.-origin items. No applications for licenses to engage in such
    activities were received during the period covered by this report.
        No expenses directly attributable to the exercise of powers or
    authorities conferred by the declaration of a national emergency in
    Executive Order No. 12930 were incurred by the Federal Government in the
    period from September 29, 1994, to November 14, 1994.
