                Notice of December 30, 1998

                
Continuation of Libyan Emergency

                On January 7, 1986, by Executive Order 12543, President 
                Reagan declared a national emergency to deal with the 
                unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
                security and foreign policy of the United States 
                constituted by the actions and policies of the 
                Government of Libya. On January 8, 1986, by Executive 
                Order 12544, the President took additional measures to 
                block Libyan assets in the United States. Every 
                President has transmitted to the Congress and the 
                Federal Register a notice continuing this emergency 
                each year since 1986.

                The crisis between the United States and Libya that led 
                to the declaration of a national emergency on January 
                7, 1986, has not been resolved. The Government of Libya 
                has continued its actions and policies in support of 
                terrorism, despite the calls by the United Nations 
                Security Council, in Resolutions 731 (1992), 748 
                (1992), and 883 (1993), that it demonstrate by concrete 
                actions its renunciation of terrorism. Therefore, in 
                accordance with section 202(d) of the National 
                Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing 
                the national emergency with respect to Libya. This 
                notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
                transmitted to the Congress.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    December 30, 1998.
