From: Declan McCullagh <declanat_private> [Actually, it's just extending the existing one. So the White House can continue to restrict exports of crypto software like Netscape and Microsoft's web browsers. --Declan] CONTINUATION OF EMERGENCY REGARDING EXPORT CONTROL REGULATIONS On August 19, 1994, consistent with the authority provided me under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), I issued Executive Order 12924. In that order, I declared a national emergency 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 renewed by the Congress, the national emergency declared on August 19, 1994, must continue in effect beyond August 19, 1998. 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 in Executive Order 12924. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. WILLIAM J.
