     On October 19, 2007, President George W. Bush issued Executive Order 13449.
 This followed a September 25, 2007 statement by President Bush that sanctions against
 Burma, which have been in place since 1997, would be tightened to specifically target
 leading Burmese officials and impose additional financial and travel sanctions. This
 report provides background information on existing economic sanctions against Burma
 and possible options to expand sanctions. It will be updated as events warrant.
