DECLARED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER 12170 ON NOVEMBER 14, 1979, IS TO CONTINUE

Relations and ordered to be printed
The White House,
Washington, November 9, 2004.
Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: Section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic
termination of a national emergency unless, prior to the
anniversary date of its declaration, the President publishes in
the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice
stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the
anniversary date. Consistent with this provision, I have sent
the enclosed notice, stating that the Iran emergency declared
by Executive Order 12170 on November 14, 1979, is to continue
in effect beyond November 14, 2004, to the Federal Register for
publication. The most recent notice continuing this emergency
was published in the Federal Register on November 13, 2003 (68
Fed. Reg. 64489).
Our relations with Iran have not yet returned to normal,
and the process of implementing the January 19, 1981,
agreements with Iran is still underway. For these reasons, I
have determined that it is necessary to continue the national
emergency declared on November 14, 1979, with respect to Iran,
beyond November 14, 2004.
Sincerely,
George W. Bush.
Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Iran
On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to Iran
pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of
the United States constituted by the situation in Iran. Because
our relations with Iran have not yet returned to normal, and
the process of implementing the January 19, 1981, agreements
with Iran is still underway, the national emergency declared on
November 14, 1979, must continue in effect beyond November 14,
2004. Therefore, consistent with section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year
this national emergency with respect to Iran.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
George W. Bush.
The White House, November 9, 2004.
