 Title 3--The President You are authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Fed- eral Register. WILLIAM }. CLINTON THE WHITE HOUSE, Washington, March 3, 2000. Notice of March 13, 2000 Continuation of Iran Emergency On March 15, 1995, by Executive Order 12957, I declared a national emer- gency with respect to Iran pursuant to the International Emergency Eco- nomic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. \17770\177-\177706) to deal with the threat to the na- tional security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States con- stituted by the actions and policies of the Government of Iran, including its support for international terrorism, efforts to undermine the Middle East peace process, and acquisition of weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them. On May 6, 1995, I issued Executive Order 12959 imposing more comprehensive sanctions to further respond to this threat, and on August \1779, 1997, I issued Executive Order 13059 consolidating and clarifying these previous orders. The last notice of continuation was pub- lished in the Federal Register on March 12, 1999. Because the actions and policies of the Government of Iran continue to threaten 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 \1775, 2000. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am con- tinuing the national emergency with respect to Iran. Because the emergency declared by Executive Order 12957 constitutes an emergency separate from that declared on November \1774, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, this re- newal is distinct from the emergency renewal of November 1999. This no- tice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Con- gress. WILLIAM }. CLINTON THE WHITE HOUSE, March 13, 2000. Presidential Determination No. 2000-18 of March 16, 2000 Sanctions on India Memorandum for the Secretary of State Pursuant to the authority vested in me as President of the United States, including under title IX of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 386
