                Notice of March 4, 2008

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Zimbabwe

                On March 6, 2003, by Executive Order 13288, I declared 
                a national emergency and blocked the property of 
                persons undermining democratic processes or 
                institutions in Zimbabwe, pursuant to the International 
                Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706). I 
                took this action to deal with the unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the 
                United States constituted by the actions and policies 
                of certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and 
                other persons to undermine Zimbabwe's democratic 
                processes or institutions. These actions have 
                contributed to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of 
                law in Zimbabwe, politically motivated violence and 
                intimidation, and political and economic instability in 
                the southern African region. On November 22, 2005, I 
                issued Executive Order 13391 to take additional steps 
                with respect to the national emergency declared in 
                Executive Order 13288 by ordering the blocking of the 
                property of additional persons undermining democratic 
                processes or institutions in Zimbabwe.

                Because the actions and policies of these persons 
                continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to 
                the foreign policy of the United States, the national 
                emergency declared on March 6, 2003, and the measures 
                adopted on that date and on November 22, 2005, to deal 
                with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond 
                March 6, 2008. Therefore, in accordance with section 
                202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 
                1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national 
                emergency with respect to the actions and policies of 
                certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other 
                persons to undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes or 
                institutions.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    March 4, 2008.
