Notice of September 21, 2006
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Persons Who Commit, Threaten To Commit, or Support Terrorism
On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, I
declared a national emergency with respect to persons
who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism,
pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers
Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706). I took this action to deal
with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security, foreign policy, and economy of the
United States constituted by the grave acts of
terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign
terrorists, including the terrorist attacks in New
York, in Pennsylvania, and against the Pentagon of
September 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate
threat of further attacks against United States
nationals or the United States. Because the actions of
these persons who commit, threaten to commit, or
support terrorism continue to pose an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the United States, the national
emergency declared on September 23, 2001, and the
measures adopted on that date to deal with that
emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 23,
2006. 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 persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
