Notice of November 8, 2018

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

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, 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

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 8, 2018.
