Continuation of Iraqi Emergency

Notice of July 28, 1995

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, the
President imposed trade sanctions on Iraq and blocked
Iraqi government assets. Because the Government of Iraq
has continued its activities hostile to the 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,
1995. 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.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

July 28, 1995.
