Notice--Continuation of the National Emergency With                      
   Respect to Iran

November 9, 1998

    On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, the President 
declared a national emergency to deal with the threat to the national 
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted 
by the situation in Iran. Notices of the continuation of this national 
emergency have been transmitted annually by the President to the 
Congress and the Federal Register. The most recent notice appeared in 
the Federal Register on October 1, 1997. Because our relations with Iran 
have not yet returned to normal, and the process of implementing the 
January 19, 1981, agreements with Iran is still underway, the national 
emergency declared on November 14, 1979, must continue in effect beyond 
November 14, 1998. 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 Iran. This notice shall be published 
in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
                                            William J. Clinton
The White House,
