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
[[Page 1004]]
is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with
this provision, I have sent the enclosed notice to the Federal Register
for publication, stating that the emergency declared with respect to the
Taliban, is to continue in effect beyond July 4, 2001.
The Taliban continues to allow territory under its control in
Afghanistan to be used as a safe haven and base of operations for Usama
bin Laden and the al-Qaida organization who have committed, and threaten
to continue to commit, acts of violence against the United States and
its nationals. This situation continues to pose an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy
interests of the United States. For these reasons, I have determined
that it is necessary to maintain these emergency authorities in force
beyond July 4, 2001.
Sincerely,
George W. Bush

House of Representatives, and Richard B. Cheney, President of the
Senate. This letter was released by the Office of the Press Secretary on

Remarks Following a Meeting With Leaders of National Service
Organizations and an Exchange With Reporters
July 2, 2001
The President. Good morning. Thank you all for coming. Laura and I
are so honored to welcome leaders from five of the largest service
organizations in our country: Kiwanis, the Lions, the Rotarians, the
Optimists, the Big Brothers and Big Sisters.
First, thank you all for coming, and thank you for your service to
the country. We've had a discussion that will really help change the
country, I think, and that is all five organizations have agreed to join
in urging their members to mentor a child.
We've set a goal amongst us to recruit one million mentors to
provide love and comfort to children around America. I can't think of a
more noble goal for the organizations here. So I want to thank you all
very much for your commitment to America, for your love of the country.
Please thank your members for their commitment, as well.
For others around the country who are wondering how best to help a
neighbor in need, I strongly urge them to think about joining one of
these service clubs, a club whose sole existence is to help make America
a better place. And so, I know there are some in our country that say
``What can I do to help?'' Well, here is five good opportunities.
One of the things you do when you run for office is, you get to go
to the service club lunches all around our country. [Laughter] And I
will tell you, some of the most meaningful lunches as a gubernatorial
candidate, for example, in Texas was at the service clubs in rural Texas
or in urban Texas. I was able to meet a lot of really good, fine folks.
America is strong because of our people. America is strong because
of the compassion of our citizens. And I believe we can meet the goal of
a million mentors, so that everybody in America feels the great promise
of our country and so that not one child is left behind.
Thank you all for coming.

Vice President Dick Cheney
Q. Who has a tougher schedule today, Mr. President? You or the Vice
President?
The President. The Vice President is feeling great. I had a meeting
with him. At Camp David, I was asked whether or not he would be at work
on Monday. I said I was confident he would be there at 8 o'clock sharp,
during our national security briefing, and there he was. He looks great.
His spirits are high. He sets such a good example for Americans who may
share the same condition he has, and that is to listen to your body, to
take precautionary measures, and to be active. And he's active, and
he's--we were all thrilled to see how good he looked this morning.
Q. Are you worried about him at all, Mr. President?
The President. No, I'm not worried about him. I'm not worried about
him. He's doing great.
Note: The President spoke at 11:04 a.m. in the Roosevelt Room at the
White House.

Remarks Prior to a Meeting With New Jersey Gubernatorial Candidate Bret
Schundler and an Exchange With Reporters
July 2, 2001
The President. Mr. Mayor, congratulations. The Vice President and I
are so honored you and Lynn came to the Oval Office. It gives us a
chance to, one, congratulate you on winning the primary and congratulate
you on being a great reformer in Jersey City. I don't think people
understand, but that's a city with 6 percent Republicans, and yet, he
continues to win overwhelmingly because he's got great ideas. And we
look forward to helping you become the Governor of New Jersey.
I think you and I share something in common: We're always
underestimated. And a lot of people didn't think I'd be sitting here. Of
course, a lot of people didn't think you would be sitting here, either.
And so, I appreciate your record.
I'm intrigued by the idea of eliminating the tollbooth in New
Jersey. I think the working people in New Jersey are going to really
appreciate that idea, and when you couple that with your strong vision
of education reform, I think you've got a good chance of winning.
[At this point, Jersey City Mayor Schundler made brief remarks.]
The President. You're going to win. [Laughter] We're glad to have
you.
Vice President's Health
Q. How do you feel, Mr. Vice President?
The Vice President. Very good.
Q. Are you sore?
The Vice President. A little tender, still. It will pass.
Q. Are you taking any painkillers or anything?
The Vice President. No.
Florida Offshore Drilling
Q. Mr. President, did you talk to your brother about----
The President. We were thinking about doing some jumping jacks
before you came in, but----
Q. Go right ahead. [Laughter]
Q. Did you ask your brother about oil and gas leases, Mr. President?
The President. What?
Q. Have you had a chance to talk to your brother about oil and gas
leases, as they were announced today?
New Jersey Gubernatorial Election
Q. Are you going to campaign for him? Make any stops?
The President. What?
Q. Are you going to campaign in New Jersey for him?
The President. That's what we're going to discuss, how we can help
him. We'd like to help him in any way we can. We want him to win.
Note: The President spoke at 2:35 p.m. in the Oval Office at the White
House. A reporter referred to Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida. A tape was not
available for verification of the content of these remarks.

Exchange With Reporters at the Jefferson Memorial
July 2, 2001
Fourth of July
Q. What's the occasion, Mr. President?
The President. Wanted to come over. We're looking right out our
window every day at the Jefferson. It's a beautiful day--wanted to come
over and begin the beginning of the Fourth of July celebration here at
the Jefferson Memorial. It's an opportunity to say hello to some of our
fellow Americans.
Q. What does the Fourth mean to you, Mr. President?
The President. Well, it's an unimaginable honor to be the President,
during the Fourth of July, of this country. It means what these words
say, for starters. The great inalienable rights of our country. We're
blessed with such values in America. And I--it's--I'm a proud man to be
the Nation based upon such wonderful values.
I can't tell you what it's like to be in Europe, for example, to be
talking about the greatness of America. But the true greatness of
America are the people. And it's another reason we're here, is to be
able to say hello to some of our fellow Americans who are here to
celebrate.
It's good to see everybody. John [John Berman, ABC News], when are
you getting married?
Q. Three weeks, sir.
Note: The exchange began at 3:40 p.m. A tape was not available for
verification of the content of this exchange.
