Notice--Continuation of Iran Emergency

November 9, 2000

    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. Since that time, notices of the continuation 
of this national emergency have been transmitted annually by the 
President to the Congress and published in the Federal Register. The 
most recent notice appeared in the Federal Register on November 5, 1999. 
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, 2000. 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 for 1 year. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
and transmitted to the Congress.
