beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have 
sent to the Federal Register for publication the enclosed notice, 
stating that the emergency caused by the lapse of the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, as amended, is to continue in effect for 1 
year beyond August 17, 2008.
