The Avalon Project : Continuation of Emergency with Respect to the Taliban; July 2, 2001

President Bush Continuation of Emergency with Respect to the Taliban; July 2, 2001

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
July 2, 2001

Notice
Continuation of Emergency with Respect to the Taliban

On July 4, 1999, the President issued Executive Order 13129, "Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with the Taliban," to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by the actions and policies of the Taliban in Afghanistan. The order blocks all property and interests in property of the Taliban and prohibits trade-related transactions by United States persons involving the territory of Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban. The last notice of continuation was signed on June 30, 2000.

The Taliban continues to allow territory under its control in Afghanistan to be used as a safe haven and base of operations for Usama bin Laden and the al-Qaida organization who have committed and threaten to continue to commit acts of violence against the United States and its nationals. For these reasons, I have determined that it is necessary to maintain in force these emergency authorities beyond July 4, 2001. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency declared on July 4, 1999, with respect to the Taliban. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

This is one of the best places to research that I have found on the net. A wealth of information!

I know pings are forbidden, but this is a super good site for research and information.

Good find Dixie, thanks for the ping!

Noted.

Yes it is. Here's another one:

American Memory--the digital library of Congress

I linked to the directory of collections. I use it a lot. This morning I was researching committee reports from the Continental Congress. It's all in there. I have used it in the past to research Davy Crockett's floor speeches. And on a different note, I also have used it to research the origin of centuries old fiddle tunes such as "Arkansas Traveller" and "Stony Point", which I play on my guitar in the bluegrass tradition. A wealth of great stuff. Enjoy.
