                Notice of January 2, 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. The President 
                has transmitted a notice continuing this emergency to 
                the Congress and the Federal Register every 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,

                    January 2, 1998.
