Notice--Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Sudan

November 1, 2006

    On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the President 
declared a national emergency with respect to Sudan pursuant to the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to 
deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security 
and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and 
policies of the Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, by Executive 
Order 13400, I expanded the national emergency by determining that the 
conflict in Sudan's Darfur region posed an unusual and extraordinary 
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, 
and I ordered the blocking of property of certain persons connected to 
that conflict. On October 13, 2006, I issued Executive Order 13412 to 
amend the comprehensive sanctions with respect to Sudan set forth in 
Executive Order 13067.
    Because the actions and policies of the Government of Sudan continue 
to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and 
foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on 
November 3, 1997, as expanded on April 26, 2006, must continue in effect 
beyond November 3, 2006. Therefore, 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 with respect to Sudan.
