Notice: National Emergency with Respect to Iran
On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, the President declared a national emergency
with respect to Iran 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, foreign policy,
and economy of the United States constituted by the situation in Iran. Because our relations
with Iran have not yet returned to normal, and the process of implementing the January 19, 1981,
agreements with Iran is still underway, the national emergency declared on November 14, 1979,
must continue in effect beyond November 14, 2007. Therefore, consistent with section 202(d) of
the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)),
I am continuing for 1 year this
national emergency with respect to Iran.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
GEORGE W. BUSH
THE WHITE HOUSE,
November 8, 2007.
