For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
August 6, 2004
Continuation of Emergency Regarding Export Control Regulations
On August 17, 2001, consistent with the authority provided me under
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 170l et
seq.), I issued Executive Order 13222. In that order, I declared a
national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat
to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States in light of the expiration of the Export Administration Act of
1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2401 et seq.). Because the Export
Administration Act has not been renewed by the Congress, the national
emergency declared on August 17, 2001, and renewed on August 14, 2002,
and on August 7, 2003, must continue in effect beyond August 17, 2004.
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 declared in Executive Order 13222.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
GEORGE W. BUSH
THE WHITE HOUSE,
August 6, 2004.
