Other Presidential Documents and timber products was linked to the proliferation of and trafficking in il- legal arms, which perpetuated the Liberian conflict and fueled and exacer- bated other conflicts throughout West Africa. Today, Liberia is engaged in a peaceful transition to a democratic order under the administration of President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. The regula- tions implementing Executive Order 13348, clarify that the subiect of this national emergency has been and remains limited to the former Liberian re- gime of Charles Taylor and specified other persons and not the country, citizens, Government, or Central Bank of Liberia. Charles Taylor is today standing trial in The Hague by the Special Court for Sierra Leone. However, stability in Liberia is still fragile. The actions and policies of Charles Taylor and others have left a legacy of destruction that still has the potential to undermine Liberia's transformation and recov- ery. 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 July 22, 2004, and the measures adopt- ed on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect be- yond July 22, 2007. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the Na- tional Emergency Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for \177 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order \1773348. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, July 19, 2007. Notice of August 15, 2007 Continuation of Emergency Regarding Export Control Regulations On August 17, 2001, consistent with the authority provided to me under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), I issued Executive Order 13222. In that order, I declared a national emer- gency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States in light of the expiration of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2401 et seq.). Because the Export Administration Act has not been re- newed by the Congress, the national emergency declared on August 17, 2001, must continue in effect beyond August 17, 2007. Therefore, in ac- cordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for i year the national emergency declared in Ex- ecutive Order 13222. 345
