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.
