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

September 21, 2006

    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 of 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, 2006. 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.
