Notice of November 8, 2007
Continuation of Emergency Regarding Weapons of
Mass Destruction
On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order 12938, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to
the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States posed by the proliferation of nuclear,
biological, and chemical weapons ``weapons of mass
destruction'' and the means of delivering such weapons.
On July 28, 1998, the President issued Executive Order
13094 amending Executive Order 12938 to respond more
effectively to the worldwide threat of weapons of mass
destruction proliferation activities. On June 28, 2005,
I issued Executive Order 13382 which, inter alia,
further amended Executive Order 12938 to improve our
ability to combat proliferation. The proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering
them continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security, foreign policy, and
economy of the United States; therefore, the national
emergency first declared on November 14, 1994, and
extended in each subsequent year, must continue. 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 12938, as amended.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
November 8, 2007.
