Notice of November 6, 2017
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass
Destruction
On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order 12938, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to
the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
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.
On July 28, 1998, by Executive Order 13094, the
President amended Executive Order 12938 to respond more
effectively to the worldwide threat of proliferation
activities related to weapons of mass destruction. On
June 28, 2005, by Executive Order 13382, the President,
among other things, further amended Executive Order
12938 to improve our ability to combat proliferation
activities related to weapons of mass destruction. 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. For
this reason, the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 12938 with respect to the proliferation
of weapons of mass destruction and the means of
delivering such weapons must continue beyond November
14, 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
declared in Executive Order 12938, as amended by
Executive Orders 13094 and 13382.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
November 6, 2017.
