Government of Libya and Revocation of Related Executive
Orders
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.)

section 40106 of title 49, United States Code, and
section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, find that the situation that gave rise to the
declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order
12543 of January 7, 1986, with respect to the policies
and actions of the Government of Libya, and that led to
the steps taken in that order and in Executive Order
12544 of January 8, 1986, and Executive Order 12801 of
April 15, 1992, has been significantly altered by
Libya's commitments and actions to eliminate its
weapons of mass destruction programs and its Missile
Technology Control Regime (MTCR) -class missiles, and
by other developments. Accordingly, I hereby terminate
the national emergency declared in Executive Order
12543, and revoke that Executive Order, Executive Order
12544, and Executive Order 12801. I also hereby revoke
Executive Order 12538 of November 15, 1985, and further

any act committed prior to such date, or any rights or
duties that matured or penalties that were incurred
