Executive Order 13350--Termination of Emergency Declared in Executive 
Order 12722 With Respect to Iraq and Modification of Executive Order 
13290, Executive Order 13303, and Executive Order 13315

July 29, 2004

    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and 
laws of the United States of America, including the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)(IEEPA), the 
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.)(NEA), section 5 of the 
United Nations Participation Act, as amended (22 U.S.C. 287c)(UNPA), and 
section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
    I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, have 
determined that the situation that gave rise to the declaration of a 
national emergency with respect to Iraq in Executive Order 12722 of 
August 2, 1990, has been significantly altered by the removal of the 
regime of Saddam Hussein and other developments. I hereby terminate the 
national emergency declared in Executive Order 12722, revoke that 
Executive Order and Executive Order 12724 of August 9, 1990, Executive 
Order 12734 of November 14, 1990, Executive Order 12743 of January 18, 
1991, Executive Order 12751 of February 14, 1991, and Executive Order 
12817 of October 21, 1992, that are based on that national emergency. I 
hereby amend Executive Order 13290 of March 20, 2003, so that the 
authorities therein remain in effect based on the national emergency I 
declared in Executive Order 13303 of May 22, 2003, and expanded in 
Executive Order 13315 of August 28, 2003. At the same time, and in order 
to take additional steps to deal with the national emergency that I 
declared in Executive Order 13303, and expanded in Executive Order 
13315, with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
national security and foreign policy of the United States posed

[[Page 1383]]

by obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and 
maintenance of peace and security in that country, and the development 
of political, administrative and economic institutions in Iraq, I hereby 
order:
    Section 1. Pursuant to section 202(a) of the NEA (50 U.S.C. 
1622(a)), termination of the national emergency declared in Executive 
Order 12722 shall not affect any action taken or proceeding pending but 
not finally concluded or determined as of the effective date of this 
order, any action or proceeding based on any act committed prior to such 
date, or any rights or duties that matured or penalties that were 
incurred prior to such date. Pursuant to section 207(a) of IEEPA (50 
U.S.C. 1706(a)), and subject to such regulations, orders, directives, or 
licenses as may be issued pursuant to this order, I hereby determine 
that the continuation of prohibitions with regard to transactions 
involving property blocked pursuant to Executive Orders 12722 or 12724 
that continues to be blocked as of the effective date of this order is 
necessary on account of claims involving Iraq.
    Sec. 2. The Annex to Executive Order 13315 is replaced and 
superseded in its entirety by the Annex to this order.
    Sec. 3. I hereby amend Executive Order 13290 by removing ``the 
national emergency declared in Executive Order 12722 of August 2, 1990'' 
and replacing it with ``the national emergency declared in Executive 
Order 13303 of March 20, 2003, and expanded in Executive Order 13315 of 
August 28, 2003''.
    Sec. 4. Unless licensed or otherwise authorized pursuant to this 
order or otherwise consistent with U.S. law, the trade in or transfer of 
ownership or possession of Iraqi cultural property or other items of 
archeological, historical, cultural, rare scientific, and religious 
importance that were illegally removed, or for which a reasonable 
suspicion exists that they were illegally removed, from the Iraq 
National Museum, the National Library, and other locations in Iraq since 
August 6, 1990, is prohibited.
    Sec. 5. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the type 
specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by or to 
persons determined to be subject to the sanctions imposed by Executive 
Order 13315 or by this order would seriously impair my ability to deal 
with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303, and 
expanded by Executive Order 13315, or would endanger the Armed Forces of 
the United States that are engaged in hostilities, and I hereby prohibit 
such donations as provided in section 1 of Executive Order 13315 as 
amended by this order.
    Sec. 6. For those persons listed in the Annex to this order or 
determined to be subject to Executive Order 13315 or this order who 
might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that 
because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets 
instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken 
pursuant to this order would render these measures ineffectual. I 
therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in 
addressing the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303, and 
expanded by Executive Order 13315, there need be no prior notice of a 
listing or determination made pursuant to Executive Order 13315 or this 
order.
    Sec. 7. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to take such actions, including 
the promulgation of rules and regulations, and to employ all powers 
granted to the President by IEEPA and UNPA as may be necessary to carry 
out the purposes of this order. The Secretary of the Treasury may 
redelegate any of these functions to other officers and agencies of the 
United States Government consistent with applicable law. All agencies of 
the United States Government are hereby directed to take all appropriate 
measures within their authority to carry out the provisions of this 
order.
    Sec. 8. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
Secretary of State, is authorized to determine subsequent to the 
issuance of the order, that circumstances no longer warrant the 
inclusion of a person in the Annex to this order and that such person is 
therefore no longer covered within the scope of the order.
    Sec. 9. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any 
right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in 
equity by any party against the United

[[Page 1384]]

States, its departments, agencies, instrumentalities, or entities, 
officers or employees, or any other person.
    Sec. 10. This order is effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 
on July 30, 2004. This order shall be transmitted to the Congress and 
published in the Federal Register.
                                                George W. Bush
The White House,
