    Notice--Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Persons
    Who Commit, Threaten To Commit, or Support Terrorism

    September 21, 2005

        On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, I declared a
    national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to
    commit, or support terrorism, pursuant to the International Emergency
    Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706). I took this action to deal
    with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security,
    foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the
    grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign
    terrorists, including the terrorist attacks in New York, in
    Pennsylvania, and against the Pentagon committed on September 11, 2001,
    and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks against
    United States nationals or the United States. Because the actions of
    these persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism
    continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the United
    States, the national emergency declared on September 23, 2001, and the
    measures adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue
    in effect beyond September 23, 2005. 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 persons who
    commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism.
        This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
    transmitted to the Congress.
                                                    George W. Bush
     The White House,
     September 21, 2005.
