The President
Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to the
Actions of the Government of Syria
On May 11, 2004, pursuant to his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701–1706, and the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003, Public Law 108–
175, the President issued Executive Order 13338, in which he declared
a national emergency with respect to the actions of the Government of
Syria. To deal with this national emergency, Executive Order 13338 authorized the blocking of property of certain persons and prohibited the exportation or re-exportation of certain goods to Syria. On April 25, 2006, and
February 13, 2008, the President issued Executive Order 13399 and Executive
Order 13460, respectively, to take additional steps with respect to this national emergency.
The President took these actions to deal with the unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States constituted by the actions of the Government of Syria in supporting
terrorism, maintaining its then-existing occupation of Lebanon, pursuing
weapons of mass destruction and missile programs, and undermining U.S.
and international efforts with respect to the stabilization and reconstruction
of Iraq.

Because the actions and policies of the Government of Syria continue to
pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States, the national emergency declared
on May 11, 2004, and the measures adopted on that date, on April 25,
2006, in Executive Order 13399, and on February 13, 2008, in Executive
Order 13460, to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond
May 11, 2009. 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 with respect to certain actions of the Government of
Syria.

Notice of May 7, 2009
Continuation of the National Emergency with
Respect to the Actions of the Government of Syria
On May 11, 2004, pursuant to his authority under the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C.
1701-1706, and the Syria Accountability and Lebanese
Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003, Public Law 108-
175, the President issued Executive Order 13338, in
which he declared a national emergency with respect to
the actions of the Government of Syria. To deal with
this national emergency, Executive Order 13338
authorized the blocking of property of certain persons
and prohibited the exportation or re-exportation of
certain goods to Syria. On April 25, 2006, and February
13, 2008, the President issued Executive Order 13399
and Executive Order 13460, respectively, to take
additional steps with respect to this national
emergency.
The President took these actions to deal with the
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States constituted by the actions of the Government of
Syria in supporting terrorism, maintaining its then-
existing occupation of Lebanon, pursuing weapons of
mass destruction and missile programs, and undermining
U.S. and international efforts with respect to the
stabilization and reconstruction of Iraq.
Because the actions and policies of the Government of
Syria continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security, foreign policy, and
economy of the United States, the national emergency
declared on May 11, 2004, and the measures adopted on
that date, on April 25, 2006, in Executive Order 13399,
and on February 13, 2008, in Executive Order 13460, to
deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond
May 11, 2009. 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 with respect to certain actions of
the Government of Syria.
