Other Presidential Documents refrain from the future use of reckless and excessive force a\365ainst U.S. ves- sels or aircraft that may engage in memorial activities or peaceful protest north of Cuba. On February 26, 2004, by Proclamation 7757, the scope of the national emergency was expanded in order to deny monetary and mate- rial support to the repressive Cuban government, which had taken a series of steps to destabilize relations with the United States, including threat- ening to abrogate the Migration Accords with the United States and to close the United States Interests Section. Further, Cuba's most senior officials re- peatedly asserted that the United States intended to invade Cuba, despite explicit denials from the U.S. Secretaries of State and Defense that such ac- tion is planned. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the Na- tional Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency with respect to Cuba and the emergency authority relating to the regulation of the anchorage and movement of vessels set out in Proclama- tion 6867 as amended and expanded by Proclamation 7757. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, Februa\177y 26, 2007. Notice of February 28, 2007 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Zimbabwe On March 6, 2003, by Executive Order 13288, I declared a national emer- gency and blocked the property of persons undermining democratic proc- esses or institutions in Zimbabwe, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706). I took this action to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes or institutions. These actions have contributed to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of law in Zimbabwe, politically motivated violence and intimidation, and political and economic instability in the southern African region. On November 22, 2005, I issued Executive Order 13391 to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency de- clared in Executive Order 13288 by ordering the blocking of the property of additional persons undermining democratic processes or institutions in Zimbabwe. Because the actions and policies of these persons continue to pose an un- usual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on March 6, 2003, and the measures adopted on that date and on November 22, 2005, to deal with that emer- gency, must continue in effect beyond March 6, 2007. Therefore, in accord- ance 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 actions and policies of certain members of the Government of 325
