Notice--Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Certain 
Terrorist Attacks

August 28, 2008

    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 I 
declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect to 
the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, the 
Pentagon, and aboard United Airlines flight 93, and the continuing and 
immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.
    Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency 
declared on September 14, 2001, and the powers and authorities adopted 
to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 
14, 2008. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year 
the national emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to 
the terrorist threat.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                George W. Bush

 The White House,
 August 28, 2008.

 [Filed with the Office of the Federal Register, 8:45 a.m., August 29, 
2008]

Note: This notice will be published in the Federal Register on September 
2.
