November 8, 1982
On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order No. 12170, the President declared a national
emergency to deal with the threat to the national security, foreign policy and economy of the
United States constituted by the situation in Iran. Notices of the continuation of the national
emergency were transmitted by the President to the Congress and the Federal Register on
November 12, 1980 and November 12, 1981. Because our relations with Iran have not yet been
normalized and the process of implementing the January 19, 1981 agreements with Iran is still
under way, the national emergency declared November 14, 1979 must continue in effect beyond
November 14, 1982. Therefore, pursuant to section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50
U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am so continuing the national emergency with respect to Iran declared on
November 14, 1979. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the
Congress.
