Other Presidential Documents Reg. 47943), the exercise of certain authorities under the Trading with the Enemy Act is scheduled to terminate on September 14, 2002. I hereby determine that the continuation for 1 year of the exercise of those authorities with respect to the applicable countries is in the national inter- est of the United States. Therefore, pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 101(b) of Pub- lic Law 95-223, I continue for 1 year, until September 14, 2003, the exer- cise of those authorities with respect to countries affected by: (1) the Foreign Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. part 500; (2) the Transaction Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. part 505; and (3) the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. part 515.

Notice of September 19, 2002 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect To Persons Who Commit, Threaten To Commit, Or Support Terrorism On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, I declared a national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Pow- ers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706). I took this action to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and econ- omy of the United States constituted by the grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and on the Pentagon committed on September 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate threat of further at- tacks on United States nationals or the United States. Because the actions of these persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national secu- rity, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, the national emer- gency declared on September 23, 2001, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond Sep- tember 23, 2002. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the Na- tional Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to com- mit, or support terrorism. 309
