                    Notice of May 18, 1998
    
                    
    Continuation of Emergency With Respect to Burma
    
                    On May 20, 1997, I issued Executive Order 13047, 
                    effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on May 
                    21, 1997, certifying to the Congress under section 
                    570(b) of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and 
                    Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1997 (Public Law 
                    104-208), that the Government of Burma has committed 
                    large-scale repression of the democratic opposition in 
                    Burma after September 30, 1996, thereby invoking the 
                    prohibition on new investment in Burma by United States 
                    persons, contained in that section. I also declared a 
                    national emergency to deal with the threat posed to the 
                    national security and foreign policy of the United 
                    States by the actions and policies of the Government of 
                    Burma, invoking the authority, inter alia, of the 
                    International emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
                    1701-1706).
    
                    The national emergency declared on May 20, 1997, must 
                    continue beyond May 20, 1998, as long as the Government 
                    of Burma continues its policies of committing large-
                    scale repression of the democratic opposition in Burma. 
                    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 
                    Burma. This notice shall be published in the Federal 
                    Register and transmitted to the Congress.
    
                        (Presidential Sig.)
    
                    THE WHITE HOUSE,
    
                        May 18, 1998.
