CONTINUATION OF EMERGENCY REGARDING WEAPONS OF MASS
DESTRUCTION
On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order 12938, I declared a national
emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the na-
tional security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States posed
by the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons ("weapons
of mass destruction") and the means of delivering such weapons. Because
the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering
them continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, the national
emergency declared on November 14, 1994, and extended on November
14, 1995, must continue in effect beyond November 14, 1996. Therefore,
in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50
U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency declared in Execu-
tive Order 12938.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to
the Congress.
