Notice of December 29, 1999

Continuation of Libyan Emergency

On January 7, 1986, by Executive Order 12543, former
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. 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. Despite the United
Nations Security Council's suspension of U.N. sanctions
against Libya upon the Libyan government's hand over of
the Pan Am 103 bombing suspects, there are still
concerns about the Libyan government's support for
terrorist activities and its noncompliance with United
Nations Security Council Resolutions 731 (1992), 748
(1992), and 88 (1993).

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 29, 1999.
