Notice--Continuation of Emergency Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction

November 9, 2001

    On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order 12938, President Clinton 
declared a national emergency with respect to the unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and 
economy of the United States posed by the proliferation of nuclear, 
biological, and chemical weapons (weapons of mass destruction) and the 
means of delivering such weapons. Because the proliferation of weapons 
of mass destruction and the means of delivering them continues to pose 
an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign 
policy, and economy of the United States, the national emergency first 
declared on November 14, 1994, and extended on November 14, 1995, 
November 12, 1996, November 13, 1997, November 12, 1998, November 10, 
1999, and November 12, 2000, must continue in effect beyond November 14, 
2001. 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 
declared in Executive Order 12938.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.
                                                George W. Bush
 The White House,
