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

October 29, 2002

    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 
the presence and activities of certain terrorist groups, including Hamas 
and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, 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, 2002. 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
