Title 3--The President Notice of March 2, 2005 Continuation of the National Emergency Blocking Property of Persons Undermining Democratic Processes or Institutions in Zimbabwe On March 6, 2003, by Executive Order 13288, I declared a national emer- gency blocking the property of persons undermining democratic processes or institutions in Zimbabwe, pursuant to the International Emergency Eco- nomic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 170\177-\177706). I took this action to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes or institutions, thus contributing to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of law in Zimbabwe, to politically motivated vio- lence and intimidation in that country, and to political and economic insta- bility in the southern African region. Because the actions and policies of these persons continue to pose an un- usual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on March 6, 2003, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond March 6, 2005. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. \177622(d)), I am continuing for \177 year the national emergency blocking the property of persons undermining democratic processes or institutions in Zimbabwe. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, March 2, 2005. Notice of March 10, 2005 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Iran On March 15, 1995, by Executive Order 12957, the President declared a na- tional emergency with respect to Iran pursuant to the International Emer- gency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal with the un- usual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of the Government of Iran, including its support for international terrorism, ef- forts to undermine the Middle East peace process, and acquisition of weap- ons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them. On May 6, 1995, the President issued Executive Order 12959 imposing more comprehensive sanctions to further respond to this threat, and on August 19, 1997, the President issued Executive Order 13059 consolidating and clarifying the previous orders. 240
