Title 3--The President On November 29, 2004, in Executive Order 13364, I modified the scope of this national emergency to address the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by the threat of attachment or other iudicial process against the Central Bank of Iraq. I also determined that, consistent with United Nations Security Coun- cil Resolutions 1483 and \177546, the steps taken in Executive Order \1773303 to deal with this national emergency need to be limited so that such steps do not apply with respect to any final iudgment arising out of a contractual obligation entered into by the Government of Iraq, including any agency or instrumentality thereof, after June 30, 2004, and so that, with respect to Iraqi petroleum and petroleum products and interests therein, such steps shall apply only until title passes to the initial purchaser. Because the obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the country, and the develop- ment of political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq con- tinue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on May 22, 2003, and the measures adopted on that date, August 28, 2003, July 29, 2004, and November 29, 2004, to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond May 22, 2006. Therefore, in accordance with sec- tion 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. \177622(d)), I am con- tinuing for \177 year the national emergency protecting the Development Fund for Iraq and certain other property in which Iraq has an interest. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, May 18, 2006. Notice of May 18, 2006 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Burma On May 20, 1997, the President issued Executive Order 13047, certifying to the Congress under section 570(b) of the Foreign Operations, Export Fi- nancing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1997 (Public Law 104- 208), that the Government of Burma has committed large-scale repression of the democratic opposition in Burma after September 30, 1996, thereby invoking the prohibition on new investment in Burma by United States persons contained in that section. The President also declared a national emergency to deal with the threat posed to the national security and for- eign policy of the United States by the actions and policies of the Govern- ment of Burma, invoking the authority, inter alia, of the International Emer- gency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. On July 28, 2003, I issued Executive Order 13310 taking additional steps with respect to that 290
