Notice of July 19, 1994

Continuation of Iraqi Emergency

On August 2, 1990, by Executive Order No. 12722,
President Bush declared a national emergency 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 Iraq. By Executive Orders Nos. 12722 of
August 2, 1990, and 12724 of August 9, 1990, President
Bush imposed trade sanctions on Iraq and blocked Iraqi
government assets. Because the Government of Iraq has
continued its activities hostile to United States
interests in the Middle East, the national emergency
declared on August 2, 1990, and the measures adopted on
August 2 and August 9, 1990, to deal with that
emergency must continue in effect beyond August 2,
1994. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of
the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am
continuing the national emergency with respect to Iraq.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
