Title 3--The President programs by the World Bank, the IMF, the ADB, and other international fi- nancial institutions in which the United States has a maior interest. We have maintained our diplomatic representation at the Charg6 d'Affaires level since 1990. Our goal in applying these sanctions is to encourage a transition to demo- cratic rule and greater respect for human rights. Nevertheless, we remain concerned about the growing humanitarian crisis in Burma and will, during the coming year, initiate a new $1 million program to deal with the grow- ing HIV/AIDS epidemic in Burma. This funding will go directly to inter- national NGOs (including Population Services International) to support programs including condom distribution and educational efforts. We will also use a small portion of the funding from the U.S. Burma earmark to develop programs inside Burma in support of democracy. None of these funds will be disbursed to or through the government. We will also con- tinue to examine the potential for law enforcement cooperation with Burma on terrorism and narcotics issues. Should there be significant progress in Burma in coming months on political transition and human rights, then the United States would look seriously at additional measures that could be ap- plied to support this process of constructive change. Notice of November 6, 2002 Continuation of Emergency Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction On November \1774, \177994, by Executive Order \1772938, President Clinton de- clared 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 weap- ons (weapons of mass destruction) and the means of delivering such weap- ons. On July 28, \177998, the President issued Executive Order 13094 to amend Executive Order \1772938 to more effectively respond to the world- wide threat of weapons of mass destruction proliferation activities. Because the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the means of deliv- ering them continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, the na- tional emergency first declared on November \1774, \177994, and extended on November \1774, 1995, November \1772, \177996, November \1773, \177997, November 12, \177998, November \1770, \177999, November \1772, 2000, and November 9, 200% must continue in effect beyond November \1774, 2002. 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 declared in Executive Order \1772938, as amended. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, November 6, 2002. 326
