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

    November 9, 2006

        On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, the President
    declared a national emergency with respect to Iran 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,
    foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the
    situation in Iran. Because our relations with Iran have not yet returned
    to normal, and the process of implementing the January 19, 1981,
    agreements with Iran is still underway, the national emergency declared
    on November 14, 1979, must continue in effect beyond November 14, 2006.
    Therefore, consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies
    Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year this national
    emergency with respect to Iran.
        This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
    transmitted to the Congress.
                                                    George W. Bush
     The White House,
     November 9, 2006.
