Notice--Continuation of Sudan Emergency

October 31, 2001

    On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the President 
declared a national emergency with respect to Sudan pursuant to the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) 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 Sudan, including continuing concern about 
its record on terrorism and the prevalence of human rights violations, 
including slavery, restrictions on religious freedom, and restrictions 
on political freedom. Because the actions and policies of the Government 
of Sudan continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
national security and foreign policy of the United States, the national 
emergency declared on November 3, 1997, and the measures adopted on that 
date to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond November 
3, 2001. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National 
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the 
national emergency with respect to Sudan.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.
                                                George W. Bush
 The White House,
