PROC. NO. 7463. DECLARATION OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY BY REASON OF

CERTAIN TERRORIST ATTACKS

Proc. No. 7463, Sept. 14, 2001, 66 F.R. 48199, provided:

A national emergency exists by reason of the terrorist attacks at

the World Trade Center, New York, New York, and the Pentagon, and

the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the

United States.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States

of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President by

the Constitution and the laws of the United States, I hereby

declare that the national emergency has existed since September 11,

2001, and, pursuant to the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601

et seq.), I intend to utilize the following statutes: sections 123,

123a, 527, 2201(c), 12006, and 12302 of title 10, United States

Code, and sections 331, 359, and 367 of title 14, United States

Code.

This proclamation immediately shall be published in the Federal

Register or disseminated through the Emergency Federal Register,

and transmitted to the Congress.

This proclamation is not intended to create any right or benefit,

substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a party against

the United States, its agencies, its officers, or any person.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth

day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand one, and of

the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred

and twenty-sixth.

George W. Bush.

CONTINUATION OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY DECLARED BY PROC. NO. 7463

Notice of President of the United States, dated Sept. 12, 2002,

67 F.R. 58317, provided:

In accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act

(50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national

emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463

[set out above], with respect to the terrorist attacks at the World

Trade Center, New York, New York, and the Pentagon, and the

continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United

States.

By Executive Order 13223 of September 14, 2001 [10 U.S.C. 12302

note], and Executive Order 13253 of January 16, 2002 [10 U.S.C.

12302 note], I delegated authority to the Secretary of Defense and

the Secretary of Transportation to order members of the Reserve

Components to active duty and to waive certain statutory military

personnel requirements. By Executive Order 13235 of November 16,

2001 [10 U.S.C. 2808 note], I delegated authority to the Secretary

of Defense to exercise certain emergency construction authority.

Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency

declared on September 14, 2001, and the measures taken on September

14, 2001, November 16, 2001, and January 16, 2002, to deal with

that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2002.

Therefore, I am continuing in effect for 1 year the national

emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the

terrorist threat.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and

transmitted to the Congress.

George W. Bush.

SUBCHAPTER II - DECLARATIONS OF FUTURE NATIONAL EMERGENCIES

-HEAD-

Sec. 1622. National emergencies

-STATUTE-

(a) Termination methods

Any national emergency declared by the President in accordance

with this subchapter shall terminate if -

(1) there is enacted into law a joint resolution terminating

the emergency; or

(2) the President issues a proclamation terminating the

emergency.

Any national emergency declared by the President shall be

terminated on the date specified in any joint resolution referred

to in clause (1) or on the date specified in a proclamation by the

President terminating the emergency as provided in clause (2) of

this subsection, whichever date is earlier, and any powers or

authorities exercised by reason of said emergency shall cease to be

exercised after such specified date, except that such termination

shall not affect -

(A) any action taken or proceeding pending not finally

concluded or determined on such date;

(B) any action or proceeding based on any act committed prior

to such date; or

(C) any rights or duties that matured or penalties that were

incurred prior to such date.

(b) Termination review of national emergencies by Congress

Not later than six months after a national emergency is declared,

and not later than the end of each six-month period thereafter that

such emergency continues, each House of Congress shall meet to

consider a vote on a joint resolution to determine whether that

emergency shall be terminated.

(c) Joint resolution; referral to Congressional committees;

conference committee in event of disagreement; filing of report;

termination procedure deemed part of rules of House and Senate

(1) A joint resolution to terminate a national emergency declared

by the President shall be referred to the appropriate committee of

the House of Representatives or the Senate, as the case may be. One

such joint resolution shall be reported out by such committee

together with its recommendations within fifteen calendar days

after the day on which such resolution is referred to such

committee, unless such House shall otherwise determine by the yeas

and nays.

(2) Any joint resolution so reported shall become the pending

business of the House in question (in the case of the Senate the

time for debate shall be equally divided between the proponents and

the opponents) and shall be voted on within three calendar days

after the day on which such resolution is reported, unless such

House shall otherwise determine by yeas and nays.

(3) Such a joint resolution passed by one House shall be referred

to the appropriate committee of the other House and shall be

reported out by such committee together with its recommendations

within fifteen calendar days after the day on which such resolution

is referred to such committee and shall thereupon become the

pending business of such House and shall be voted upon within three

calendar days after the day on which such resolution is reported,

unless such House shall otherwise determine by yeas and nays.

(4) In the case of any disagreement between the two Houses of

Congress with respect to a joint resolution passed by both Houses,

conferees shall be promptly appointed and the committee of

conference shall make and file a report with respect to such joint

resolution within six calendar days after the day on which managers

on the part of the Senate and the House have been appointed.

Notwithstanding any rule in either House concerning the printing of

conference reports or concerning any delay in the consideration of

such reports, such report shall be acted on by both Houses not

later than six calendar days after the conference report is filed

in the House in which such report is filed first. In the event the

conferees are unable to agree within forty-eight hours, they shall

report back to their respective Houses in disagreement.

(5) Paragraphs (1)-(4) of this subsection, subsection (b) of this

section, and section 1651(b) of this title are enacted by Congress

-

(A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and

the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such they are

deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but

applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in

the House in the case of resolutions described by this

subsection; and they supersede other rules only to the extent

that they are inconsistent therewith; and

(B) with full recognition of the constitutional right of either

House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of

that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same

extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.

(d) Automatic termination of national emergency; continuation

notice from President to Congress; publication in Federal

Register

Any national emergency declared by the President in accordance

with this subchapter, and not otherwise previously terminated,

shall terminate on the anniversary of the declaration of that

emergency if, within the ninety-day period prior to each

anniversary date, the President does not publish in the Federal

Register and transmit to the Congress a notice stating that such

emergency is to continue in effect after such anniversary.
