The President
Notice of December 22, 1994

Continuation of Libyan Emergency

On January 7, 1986, by Executive Order No. 12543,
President Reagan 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 Libya. On January 8, 1986, by Executive
Order No. 12544, the President took additional measures
to block Libyan assets in the United States. The
President has transmitted a notice continuing this
emergency to the Congress and the Federal Register
every year since 1986.

The crisis between the United States and Libya that led
to the declaration of a national emergency on January
7, 1986, has not been resolved. The Government of Libya
has continued its actions and policies in support of
terrorism, despite the calls by the United Nations
Security Council, in Resolutions 731 (1992), 748
(1992), and 883 (1993) that it demonstrate by concrete
actions its renunciation of such terrorism. Such Libyan
actions and policies pose a continuing unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and vital
foreign policy interest of the United States. For these
reasons, the national emergency declared on January 7,
1986, and the measures adopted on January 7 and January
8, 1986, to deal with that emergency, must continue in
effect beyond January 7, 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 Libya. This notice shall be published
in the Federal Register and transmitted to the
Congress.
