    Notice--Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Certain
    Terrorist Attacks

    September 8, 2005

        Consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50
    U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency I
    declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect to
    the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, and
    the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks
    on the United States.
        By Executive Order 13223 of September 14, 2001 and Executive Order
    13253 of January 16, 2002, I delegated authority to the Secretary of
    Defense and the Secretary of Transportation to order members of the
    Reserve Components to active duty and to waive certain statutory
    military personnel requirements. By Executive Order 13235 of November
    16, 2001, I delegated authority to the Secretary of Defense to exercise
    certain emergency construction authority. By Executive Order 13286 of
    February 28, 2003, I transferred the authority delegated to the
    Secretary of Transportation in Executive Order 13223 to the Secretary of
    Homeland Security.
        Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency
    declared on September 14, 2001, and the measures taken on September 14,
    2001, November 16, 2001, and January 16, 2002, to deal with that
    emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2005. Therefore,
    I am continuing in effect for an additional year the national emergency
    I declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the terrorist threat.
        This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
    transmitted to the Congress.
                                                    George W. Bush

    September 8, 2005.
