    Letter to Congressional Leaders on Continuation of the National
    Emergency Regarding Export Control Regulations
    August 3, 2006

    Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
        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 emergency caused by the lapse of the
    Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, is to continue in effect
    for 1 year beyond August 17, 2006, to the Federal Register for
    publication.
            Sincerely,

                                                              George W. Bush

    Note: Identical letters were sent to J. Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the
    House of Representatives, and Richard B. Cheney, President of the
    Senate. The notice is listed in Appendix D at the end of this volume.
