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

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, 2018. 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.)
