Notice of October 29, 1996

Continuation of Iran Emergency

On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, the
President declared a national emergency to deal with
the threat to the national security, foreign policy,
and economy of the United States constituted by the
situation in Iran. Notices of the continuation of this
national emergency have been transmitted annually by
the President to the Congress and the Federal Register.
The most recent notice appeared in the Federal Register
on November 2, 1995. 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, 1996. 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 Iran. This notice shall be published in
the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

October 29, 1996.
