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

 November 1, 2007

    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, in Executive 
Order 13400, I determined 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, expanded the scope of the national 
emergency to deal with that threat, and ordered the blocking of property 
of certain persons connected to the conflict. On October 13, 2006, I 
issued Executive Order 13412 to take additional steps with respect to 
the national emergency and to implement the Darfur Peace and 
Accountability Act of 2006.

    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, 2007. 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.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.
                                                George W. Bush
