                Executive Order 12930 of September 29, 1994
Measures To Restrict the Participation by United
                States Persons in Weapons Proliferation Activities
                By the authority vested in me as President by the
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of
                America, including section 203 of the International
                Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1702), the
                National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and
                section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code,
                I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States
                of America, find that the proliferation of nuclear,
                biological, and chemical weapons, and of the means of
                delivering such weapons, constitutes an unusual and
                extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign
                policy, and economy of the United States, and hereby
                declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.
                Accordingly, in order to limit the participation by
                United States persons in weapons proliferation
                activities, it is hereby ordered as follows:
                Section 1. The Secretary of Commerce, in consultation
                with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized and
                directed to take such actions, including the
                promulgation of rules, regulations, and amendments
                thereto, as may be necessary to continue to regulate
                the activities of United States persons in order to
                prevent their participation in activities that could
                contribute to the proliferation of weapons of mass
                destruction and the means of their delivery, as
                provided in the Export Administration Regulations, set
                forth at 15 CFR Parts 768-799 (1994).
                Sec. 2. Any rules, regulations, orders, licenses, or
                other forms of administrative action issued, taken, or
                continued in effect heretofore or hereafter under the
                authority of the Export Administration Act, or the
                authorities provided under Executive Order No. 12868 on
                September 30, 1993, are hereby continued in effect
                unless altered, modified, or rescinded by the Secretary
                of Commerce pursuant to section 1 of this order.
                Sec. 3. Executive Order No. 12868 is revoked and this
                order shall take effect at 11:59 p.m. on September 29,
                1994.
