Presidential Notice 13338
Continuation of the National Emergency Blocking Property of Certain Persons and Prohibiting the Export of Certain Goods to Syria
President Bush continued for one year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13338, which blocks property of certain persons and prohibits exporting certain goods to Syria. The continuation was required under the National Emergencies Act because the Administration determined Syria's actions still pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economy.
