    Executive Order 13357--Termination of Emergency Declared in Executive
    Order 12543 With Respect to the Policies and Actions of the Government
    of Libya and Revocation of Related Executive Orders

    September 20, 2004

        By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and
    the 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), sections 504 and 505 of the International Security and
    Development Cooperation Act (22 U.S.C. 2349aa-8 and 2349aa-9), section
    40106 of title 49, United States Code, and section 301 of title 3,
    United States Code,
        I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, find
    that the situation that gave rise to the declaration of a national
    emergency in Executive Order 12543 of January 7, 1986, with respect to
    the policies and actions of the Government of Libya, and that led to the
    steps taken in that order and in Executive Order 12544 of January 8,
    1986, and Executive Order 12801 of April 15, 1992, has been
    significantly altered by Libya's commitments and actions to eliminate
    its weapons of mass destruction programs and its Missile Technology
    Control Regime (MTCR) -class missiles, and by other developments.
    Accordingly, I hereby terminate the national emergency declared in
    Executive Order 12543, and revoke that Executive Order, Executive Order
    12544, and Executive Order 12801. I also hereby revoke Executive Order
    12538 of November 15, 1985, and further 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 12543 with respect to the policies and actions of the Government
    of Libya shall not affect any action taken or proceeding pending 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.
        Sec. 2. 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 States, its departments,
    agencies, instrumentalities, or entities, its officers or employees, or
    any other person.
        Sec. 3. (a) This order is effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight
    time on September 21, 2004.
        (b) This order shall be transmitted to the Congress and published in
    the Federal Register.
                                                    George W. Bush
    The White House,
