    Message to the Congress on Continuation of the National Emergency With
    Respect to Sudan
    October 29, 1999

    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 Sudanese emergency is to continue in
    effect beyond November 3, 1999, to the Federal Register for publication.
        The crisis between the United States and Sudan that led to the
    declaration on November 3, 1997, of a national emergency has not been
    resolved. The Government of Sudan continues to support international
    terrorism and efforts to destabilize neighboring governments, and engage
    in human rights violations, including the denial of religious freedom.
    Such Sudanese actions pose a continuing unusual and extraordinary threat
    to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For
    these reasons, I have determined that it is necessary to maintain in
    force the broad authorities necessary to apply economic pressure on the
    Government of Sudan.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,

    October 29, 1999.

    Note: The notice of October 29 is listed in Appendix D at the end of
    this volume.
