Notice of December 30, 1998

Continuation of Libyan Emergency

On January 7, 1986, by Executive Order 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 12544, the President took additional measures to
block Libyan assets in the United States. Every
President has transmitted to the Congress and the
Federal Register a notice continuing this emergency
each 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 terrorism. 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.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

December 30, 1998.
