Title 3--The President Notice of November 1, 2006 Continuation of the National Emer\365ency With Respect to Sudan On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the President declared a national emergency with respect to Sudan 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 constituted by the actions and policies of the Govern- ment of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, by Executive Order 13400, I expanded the national emergency by determining that the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region posed an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I ordered the blocking of prop- erty of certain persons connected to that conflict. On October 13, 2006, I issued Executive Order 13412 to amend the comprehensive sanctions with respect to Sudan set forth in Executive Order 13067. Because the actions and policies of the Government of Sudan continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and for- eign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on No- vember 3, 1997, as expanded on April 26, 2006, must continue in effect beyond November 3, 2006. Therefore, consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for i year the national emergency with respect to Sudan. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, November 1, 2006. Memorandum of November 6, 2006 Determinations Under Section 1106(a) of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988--Socialist Republic of Vietnam Memorandum for the United States Trade Representative Consistent with section 1006(a) of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (19 U.S.C. 2905(a)) (the "Act"), I determine that state trading enterprises account for a significant share of the exports of the Socialist Re- public of Vietnam (Vietnam) and goods that compete with imports into Vietnam. I further determine that such state trading enterprises unduly bur- den and restrict, or adversly affect, the foreign trade of the United States or the United States economy, or are likely to result in such burden, restric- tion, or effect. 320
