For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
August 2, 2005
Notice: 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, must continue in effect beyond
August 17, 2005. 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 2, 2005.
