President Bush waived a congressionally imposed prohibition on FY2006 Economic Support Funds for 14 countries that are parties to the Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court, citing national interest. The determination requires reporting to Congress and Federal Register publication.
This determination waives a statutory prohibition on U.S. military assistance to Comoros and Saint Kitts and Nevis under the American Servicemembers' Protection Act, based on their entry into Article 98 agreements that shield U.S. personnel from International Criminal Court jurisdiction. The waiver remains in effect as long as those agreements stay in force.
President George W. Bush conditionally approved the proposed merger of French Alcatel and U.S. Lucent Technologies by requiring execution of a National Security Agreement and Special Security Agreement with multiple federal departments, prohibiting the merger if these conditions are not met. The order cites national security concerns under Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 and authorizes the Attorney General to enforce compliance.
This memorandum delegates the President's reporting function under section 1016(e) of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 to the Director of National Intelligence, while preserving the President's constitutional authority to withhold sensitive information.
President George W. Bush continued for one year the national emergency with respect to Iran that was first declared on November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170. The continuation is based on ongoing abnormal U.S.-Iran relations and the incomplete implementation of the January 19, 1981, Algiers Accords agreements with Iran.
President Bush determined that Vietnam's state trading enterprises significantly burden U.S. foreign trade, but concluded that Vietnam's pending WTO accession commitments—including commercial-consideration requirements and non-interference pledges—satisfy statutory conditions that would otherwise trigger nonapplication of WTO provisions. The U.S. Trade Representative was directed to publish the memorandum.
This executive order amends a prior order to extend the deadline for the Identity Theft Task Force to submit its coordinated strategic plan to the President, changing the due date to February 9, 2007, or as soon as practicable thereafter as determined by the Chairman and Co-Chairman. It is a narrow, procedural amendment with no new policy substance.
This notice continues for one year the national emergency with respect to Sudan originally declared in 1997 under Executive Order 13067, expanded in 2006 by Executive Order 13400 regarding Darfur, and amended by Executive Order 13412. The continuation is required under section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act because Sudan's actions and policies continue to threaten U.S. national security and foreign policy.
