Notice of July 28, 1998
Continuation of Iraqi Emergency
On August 2, 1990, by Executive Order 12722, President
Bush 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 Iraq. By Executive Orders 12722 of August
2, 1990, and 12724 of August 9, 1990, the President
imposed trade sanctions on Iraq and blocked Iraqi
government assets. Because the Government of Iraq has
continued its activities hostile to United States
interests in the Middle East, the national emergency
declared on August 2, 1990, and the measures adopted on
August 2 and August 9, 1990, to deal with that
emergency must continue in effect beyond August 2,
1998. 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 Iraq.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
July 28, 1998.
