    Message to the Congress on Continuation of the National Emergency With
    Respect to Sudan
    November 1, 2005

    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. Consistent with this provision, I have sent the
    enclosed notice to the Federal Register for publication, stating that
    the Sudan emergency is to continue in effect beyond November 3, 2005.
    The most recent notice continuing this emergency was published in the
    Federal Register on November 2, 2004 (69 FR 63915).
        The crisis between the United States and Sudan constituted by the
    actions and policies of the Government of Sudan that led to the
    declaration of a national emergency on November 3, 1997, has not been
    resolved. These actions and policies are hostile to U.S. interests and
    pose a continuing unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
    security and foreign policy of the United States. Therefore, I have
    determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency
    declared with respect to Sudan and maintain in force comprehensive
    sanctions against Sudan to respond to this threat.

                                                              George W. Bush
