Notice of July 31, 2003
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Iraq
On August 2, 1990, by Executive Order 12722, President
Bush declared a national emergency with respect to Iraq
pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers
Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) 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--the
Saddam Hussein regime. By Executive Orders 12722 of
August 2, 1990, and 12724 of August 9, 1990, the
President imposed trade sanctions on Iraq and blocked
Iraqi government assets. Additional measures were taken
with respect to this national emergency by Executive
Order 13290 of March 20, 2003. Because of the continued
instability in Iraq, the United States and Coalition
partners' role as the temporary authority in Iraq, and
the need to ensure the establishment of a process
leading to representative Iraqi self-rule, the national
emergency declared on August 2, 1990, and the measures
adopted on August 2 and August 9, 1990, and March 20,
2003, to deal with that emergency must continue in
effect beyond August 2, 2003. Therefore, in accordance
with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50
U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the
national emergency with respect to Iraq.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)B
THE WHITE HOUSE,
July 31, 2003.
