    Message to the Congress on Continuation of the National Emergency With
    Respect to Iran
    November 9, 2001

    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 declared by Executive
    Order 12170 on November 14, 1979, is to continue in effect beyond
    November 14, 2001, to the Federal Register for publication. The most
    recent notice continuing this emergency was published in the Federal
    Register on November 13, 2000 (65 Fed. Reg. 68061).
        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. For these reasons, I have determined that it is
    necessary

    to continue the national emergency declared on November 14, 1979, with
    respect to Iran, beyond November 14, 2001.

                                                              George W. Bush

     The White House,

     November 9, 2001.
