    Message to the Congress on Continuation of the National Emergency
    Regarding Export Control Regulations
    July 23, 2008

    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 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, 2008.

                                                              George W. Bush

     The White House,

     July 23, 2008.

    Note: This message was released by the Office of the Press Secretary on
    July 24. The notice of July 23 is listed in Appendix D at the end of
    this volume.
