Notice of May 16, 2017
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to the Stabilization of Iraq
On May 22, 2003, by Executive Order 13303, 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 extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of
the United States posed by obstacles to the orderly
reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance
of peace and security in the country, and the
development of political, administrative, and economic
institutions in Iraq.
The obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq,
the restoration and maintenance of peace and security
in the country, and the development of political,
administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq
continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to
the national security and foreign policy of the United
States. For this reason, the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13303, as modified in scope
and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive
Order 13315 of August 28, 2003, Executive Order 13350
of July 29, 2004, Executive Order 13364 of November 29,
2004, Executive Order 13438 of July 17, 2007, and
Executive Order 13668 of May 27, 2014, must continue in
effect beyond May 22, 2017. 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 the stabilization of
Iraq declared in Executive Order 13303.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
