Notice on Continuation of Iraqi Emergency

July 28, 1995

    On August 2, 1990, by Executive Order No. 12722, President Bush 
declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary 
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States 
constituted by the actions and policies of the Government of Iraq. By 
Executive Orders Nos. 12722 of August 2, 1990, and 12724 of August 9, 
1990, the President imposed trade sanctions on Iraq and blocked Iraqi 
government assets. Because the Government of Iraq has continued its 
activities hostile to the United States interests in the Middle East, 
the national emergency declared on August 2, 1990, and the measures 
adopted on August 2 and August 9, 1990, to deal with that emergency must 
continue in effect beyond August 2, 1995. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am 
continuing the national emergency with respect to Iraq.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.
                                            William J. Clinton
The White House,
July 28, 1995.
