                Notice of June 6, 2008

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to the Actions and Policies of Certain Members 
                of the Government of Belarus and Other Persons 
                Undermining Democratic Processes or Institutions in 
                Belarus

                On June 16, 2006, by Executive Order 13405, I declared 
                a national emergency and ordered related measures 
                blocking the property of certain persons undermining 
                democratic processes or institutions in Belarus, 
                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 
                national security and foreign policy of the United 
                States constituted by the actions and policies of 
                certain members of the Government of Belarus and other 
                persons that have undermined democratic processes or 
                institutions; committed human rights abuses related to 
                political repression, including detentions and 
                disappearances; and engaged in public corruption, 
                including by diverting or misusing Belarusian public 
                assets or by misusing public authority.

                Because these actions and policies continue to pose an 
                unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
                security and foreign policy of the United States, the 
                national emergency declared on June 16, 2006, and the 
                measures adopted on that date to deal with that 
                emergency, must continue in effect beyond June 16, 
                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 declared 
                in Executive Order 13405.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    June 6, 2008.
