    Letter to Congressional Leaders on Continuation of the National
    Emergency Regarding Export Control Regulations
    August 15, 2007

    Dear Madam 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 to the
    Federal Register for publication 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, 2007.
             Sincerely,

                                                              George W. Bush

    Note: Identical letters were sent to Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House
    of Representatives, and Richard B. Cheney, President of the Senate. This
    letter was released by the Office of the Press Secretary on August 16.
    The notice is listed in Appendix D at the end of this volume.
