Notice of November 6, 2002
Continuation of Emergency Regarding Weapons of
Mass Destruction
On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order 12938,
President Clinton declared a national emergency with
respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security, foreign policy, and economy of the
United States posed by the proliferation of nuclear,
biological, and chemical weapons (weapons of mass
destruction) and the means of delivering such weapons.
On July 28, 1998, the President issued Executive Order
13094 to amend Executive Order 12938 to more
effectively respond to the worldwide threat of weapons
of mass destruction proliferation activities. Because
the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and
the means of delivering them continues to pose an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States, the national emergency first declared on
November 14, 1994, and extended on November 14, 1995,
November 12, 1996, November 13, 1997, November 12,
1998, November 10, 1999, November 12, 2000, and
November 9, 2001, must continue in effect beyond
November 14, 2002. 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 declared
in Executive Order 12938, as amended.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)B
THE WHITE HOUSE,
November 6, 2002.
