BILLING CODE 4210-67-P 77 97 Friday, May 18, 2012 Presidential Documents Part IV The President Notice of May 17, 2012—Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect To Burma Title 3— The President Notice of May 17, 2012 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 Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1997 (Public Law 104-208), that the Government of Burma had 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 foreign policy of the United States by the actions and policies of the Government of Burma, invoking the authority, *inter alia* , of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701-1706. Because the actions and policies of the Government of Burma continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on May 20, 1997, and the measures adopted to deal with that emergency in Executive Orders 13047 of May 20, 1997; 13310 of July 28, 2003; 13448 of October 18, 2007; and 13464 of April 30, 2008, must continue in effect beyond May 20, 2012.
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 Burma. This notice shall be published in the *Federal Register * and transmitted to the Congress. OB#1.EPS THE WHITE HOUSE, May 17, 2012. [FR Doc. 2012-12337 Filed 5-17-12; 2:15 pm]
