Title 3-        Notice of September 12, 2002

The President   Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to
Certain Terrorist Attacks

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 I declared on
September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect to the terrorist
attacks at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, and the Pentagon, and
the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.

By Executive Order 13223 of September 14, 2001, and Executive Order 13253 of
January 16, 2002, I delegated authority to the Secretary of Defense and the
Secreta
active duty and to waive certain statutory military personnel requirements.
By Executive Order 13235 of November 16, 2001, I delegated authority to the
Secretary of Defense to exercise certain emergency construction authority.

Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on
September 14, 2001, and the measures taken on September 14, 2001, November
16, 2001, and January 16, 2002, to deal with that emergency, must continue
in effect beyond September 14, 2002. Therefore, I am continuing in effect
for 1 year the national emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, with
respect to the terrorist threat.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to
the Congress.
