November 7, 1984
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 this national
emergency were transmitted by the President to the Congress and the Federal Register on
November 12, 1980, November 12, 1981, November 8, 1982, and November 4, 1983. Because
our relations with Iran have not yet returned to normal and the process of implementing the
January 19, 1981, agreements with Iran is still underway, the national emergency declared on
November 14, 1979, must continue in effect beyond November 14, 1984. Therefore, in
accordance with Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am
continuing the national emergency with respect to Iran. This notice shall be published in the
Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
