Except to the extent provided in section 203(b)(]), (3), and (4) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. ]702(b)(]), (3), and (4)), the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000 (title IX, Public Law ]06-387), or reg- ulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or per- mit granted prior to the effective date of this order, all property and inter- ests in property of the following persons that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come with- in the possession or control of United States persons, including their over- seas branches, are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: (a) the persons listed in the Annex attached and made a part of this order; and (b) any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, after consulta- tion with the Secretary of State: (i) to be a senior official of the Government of Burma, the State Peace and Development Council of Burma, the Union Solidarity and Develop- ment Association of Burma, or any successor entity to any of the fore- going; (ii) to be responsible for, or to have participated in, human rights abuses related to political repression in Burma; (iii) to be engaged, or to have engaged, in activities facilitating public corruption by senior officials of the Government of Burma; (iv) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, mate- rial, logistical, or technical support for, or goods or services in support 304

 Executive Orders EO 13448 of, the Government of Burma, the State Peace and Development Council of Burma, the Union Solidarity and Development Association of Burma, any successor entity to any of the foregoing, any senior official of any of the foregoing, or any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13310 or section l(b)(i)-(v) of this order; (v) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to Executive Order \17733\1770 or section l(b)(i)-(v) of this order; or (vi) to be a spouse or dependent child of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order or Executive Order \1773310. Sec. 2. (a) Any transaction by a United States person or within the United States that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or at- tempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohib- ited. (b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited. Sec. 3. For purposes of this order: (a) the term "person" means an individual or entity; (b) the term "entity" means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization; (c) the term "United States person" means any United States citizen, per- manent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the United States; and (d) the term "Government of Burma" means the Government of Burma (sometimes referred to as Myanmar), its agencies, instrumentalities and controlled entities, and the Central Bank of Burma. Sec. 4. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the type speci- fied in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. \177702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of, persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to section \177 of this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order \1773047, and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Order \1773310, and ex- panded in this order, and hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section \177 of this order. Sec. 5. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to section \177 of this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of meas- ures to be taken pursuant to this order would render these measures inef- fectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in ad- dressing the national emergency declared in Executive Order \1773047, and re- lied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Order \1773310, and ex- panded in this order, there need be no prior notice of a listing or deter- mination made pursuant to this order. 305

 Title 3--The President Notice of January 18, 2007 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Terrorists Who Threaten To Disrupt the Middle East Peace Process On January 23, 1995, by Executive Order 12947, the President declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and extraor- dinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by grave acts of violence committed by foreign terrorists who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace process. On Au- gust 20, 1998, by Executive Order 13099, the President modified the Annex to Executive Order 12947 to identify four additional persons, including Usama bin Laden, who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace process. Because these terrorist activities continue to threaten the Middle East peace process and to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national se- curity, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, the national emer- gency declared on January 23, 1995, as expanded on August 20, 1998, and the measures adopted on those dates to deal with that emergency must con- tinue in effect beyond January 23, 2007. Therefore, in accordance with sec- tion 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am con- tinuing for i year the national emergency with respect to foreign terrorists who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace process. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, Januazy 18, 2007.

Notice of February 26, 2007 Continuation of the National Emergency Relating to Cuba and of the Emergency Authority Relating to the Regulation of the Anchorage and Movement of Vessels On March 1, 1996, by Proclamation 6867, a national emergency was de- clared to address the disturbance or threatened disturbance of international relations caused by the February 24, 1996, destruction by the Cuban gov- ernment of two unarmed U.S.-registered civilian aircraft in international airspace north of Cuba. In July 1996 and on subsequent occasions, the Cuban government stated its intent to forcefully defend its sovereignty against any U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft that might enter Cuban terri- torial waters or airspace while involved in a flotilla or peaceful protest. Since these events, the Cuban government has not demonstrated that it will 324

 Other Presidential Documents refrain from the future use of reckless and excessive force a\365ainst U.S. ves- sels or aircraft that may engage in memorial activities or peaceful protest north of Cuba. On February 26, 2004, by Proclamation 7757, the scope of the national emergency was expanded in order to deny monetary and mate- rial support to the repressive Cuban government, which had taken a series of steps to destabilize relations with the United States, including threat- ening to abrogate the Migration Accords with the United States and to close the United States Interests Section. Further, Cuba's most senior officials re- peatedly asserted that the United States intended to invade Cuba, despite explicit denials from the U.S. Secretaries of State and Defense that such ac- tion is planned. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the Na- tional Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency with respect to Cuba and the emergency authority relating to the regulation of the anchorage and movement of vessels set out in Proclama- tion 6867 as amended and expanded by Proclamation 7757. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, Februa\177y 26, 2007. Notice of February 28, 2007 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Zimbabwe On March 6, 2003, by Executive Order 13288, I declared a national emer- gency and blocked the property of persons undermining democratic proc- esses 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 de- clared 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 un- usual 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 emer- gency, must continue in effect beyond March 6, 2007. Therefore, in accord- ance 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 325

Notice of March 8, 2007 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Iran On March 15, 1995, by Executive Order 12957, the President declared a na- tional emergency with respect to Iran pursuant to the International Emer- gency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. \17770\177-\177706) to deal with the un- usual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of the Government of Iran. On May 6, 1995, the President issued Executive Order 12959 imposing more comprehensive sanctions to further respond to this threat, and on August 19, 1997, the President issued Executive Order 13059 consolidating and clarifying the previous orders. Because the actions and policies of the Government of Iran 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 March 15, 1995, must continue in effect beyond March 15, 2007. There- fore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. \177622(d)), I am continuing for \177 year the national emergency with re- spect to Iran. Because the emergency declared by Executive Order 12957 constitutes an emergency separate from that declared on November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, this renewal is distinct from the emer- gency renewal of November 2006.

Notice of May 17, 2007 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Burma On May 20, 1997, the President issued Executive Order 13047, certifying to the Congress under section 570(b) of the Foreign Operations, Export Fi- nancing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1997 (Public Law 104- 20a), that the Government of Burma has committed large-scale repression of the democratic opposition in Burma after September 30, 1996, thereby invoking the prohibition on new investment in Burma by United States persons contained in that section. The President also declared a national emergency to deal with the threat posed to the national security and for- eign policy of the United States by the actions and policies of the Govern- ment of Burma, invoking the authority, inter alia, of the International Emer- gency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. \17770\177 et seq.

 Title 3--The President issued Executive Order 13310 taking additional steps with respect to that national emergency by putting in place an import ban required by the Bur- mese Freedom and Democracy Act of 2003, and prohibiting exports of fi- nancial services to Burma and the dealing in property in which certain des- ignated Burmese persons have an interest. Because the actions and policies of the Government of Burma continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and for- eign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on May 20, 1997, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that emer- gency must continue in effect beyond May 20, 2007. Therefore, in accord- ance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. \177622(d)), I am continuing for \177 year the national emergency with respect to Burma. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and trans- mitted to the Congress. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, May 17, 2007. Notice of May 18, 2007 Continuation of the National Emergency Protecting the Development Fund for Iraq and Certain Other Property in Which Iraq Has an Interest On May 22, 2003, by Executive Order \1773303, I declared a national emer- gency protecting the Development Fund for Iraq and certain other property in which Iraq has an interest, pursuant to the International Emergency Eco- nomic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. \177701-\177706) (IEEPA). I took this action to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and for- eign policy of the United States posed by the obstacles to the orderly recon- struction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the country, and the development of political, administrative, and eco- nomic institutions in Iraq constituted by the threat of attachment or other iudicial process against the Development Fund for Iraq, Iraqi petroleum and petroleum products, and interests therein, and proceeds, obligations, or any financial instruments of any nature whatsoever arising from or related to the sale or marketing thereof, and interests therein. In Executive Order 13315, of August 28, 2003, Executive Order 13350 of July 29, 2004, and Executive Order 13364 of November 29, 2004, I modified the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order \1773303 and amended the steps taken pursuant to it. Because the obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the country, and the develop- ment of political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq con- tinue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on May 22, 2003, and the measures adopted on that date, August 28, 2003, July 29, 2004, and November 29, 2004, to deal with that emergency must 334

Notice of June 14, 2007 Continuation of the National Emergency Blocking Property of Certain Persons Undermining Democratic Processes or Institutions in Belarus On June 16, 2006, by Executive Order 13405, I declared a national emer- gency and ordered related measures blocking the property of certain per- sons 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 in response to 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 corrup- tion, including by diverting or misusing Belarusian public assets or by mis- using public authority. Because these actions and policies continue to pose an unusual and ex- traordinary 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, 2007.

 Other Presidential Documents Notice of June 19, 2007 Continuation of the National Emer\365ency With Respect to the Risk of Nuclear Proliferation Created by the Accumulation of Weapons-Usable Fissile Material in the Territory of the Russian Federation On June 21, 2000, the President issued Executive Order 13159 (the "order"), blocking property and interests in property of the Government of the Russian Federation that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the posses- sion or control of United States persons that are directly related to the im- plementation of the Agreement Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Russian Federation Con- cerning the Disposition of Highly Enriched Uranium Extracted from Nu- clear Weapons, dated February 18, 1993, and related contracts and agree- ments (collectively, the "HEU Agreements"). The HEU Agreements allow for the downblending of highly enriched uranium derived from nuclear weapons to low enriched uranium for peaceful commercial purposes. The order invoked the authority, inter alia, of the International Emergency Eco- nomic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq., and declared a national emer- gency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national se- curity and foreign policy of the United States posed by the risk of nuclear proliferation created by the accumulation of a large volume of weapons-us- able fissile material in the territory of the Russian Federation. The national emergency declared on June 21, 2000, must continue beyond June 21, 2007, to provide continued protection from attachment, judgment, decree, lien, execution, garnishment, or other judicial process for the prop- erty and interests in property of the Government of the Russian Federation that are directly related to the implementation of the HEU Agreements and subject to U.S. jurisdiction. 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 weapons-usable fissile material in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Notice of July 19, 2007 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Former Liberian Regime of Charles Taylor On July 22, 2004, by Executive Order \1773348, I declared a national emer- gency and ordered related measures, including the blocking of property of certain persons associated with the former LiborJan regime of Charles Tay- lor, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. \17770\177-1706). I took this action to deal with the unusual and extraor- dinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of former LiborJan President Charles Taylor and other persons, in particular, their unlawful depletion of LiborJan resources and their removal from Liberia and secreting of LiborJan funds and property, which have undermined Liberia's transition to democracy and the orderly development of its political, administrative, and economic institutions and resources. I further noted that the Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed on August \1778, 2003, and the related cease-fire had not yet been universally implemented throughout Liberia, and that the illicit trade in round logs 344

 Other Presidential Documents and timber products was linked to the proliferation of and trafficking in il- legal arms, which perpetuated the Liberian conflict and fueled and exacer- bated other conflicts throughout West Africa. Today, Liberia is engaged in a peaceful transition to a democratic order under the administration of President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. The regula- tions implementing Executive Order 13348, clarify that the subiect of this national emergency has been and remains limited to the former Liberian re- gime of Charles Taylor and specified other persons and not the country, citizens, Government, or Central Bank of Liberia. Charles Taylor is today standing trial in The Hague by the Special Court for Sierra Leone. However, stability in Liberia is still fragile. The actions and policies of Charles Taylor and others have left a legacy of destruction that still has the potential to undermine Liberia's transformation and recov- ery. Because the actions and policies of these persons continue to pose an un- usual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on July 22, 2004, and the measures adopt- ed on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect be- yond July 22, 2007. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the Na- tional Emergency Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for \177 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order \1773348. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, July 19, 2007.

In that order, I declared a national emer- gency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States in light of the expiration of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2401 et seq.). Because the Export Administration Act has not been re- newed by the Congress, the national emergency declared on August 17, 2001, must continue in effect beyond August 17, 2007. Therefore, in ac- cordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for i year the national emergency declared in Ex- ecutive Order 13222. 345
