To the Congress of the United States:
    Consistent with section 7422(c)(2) of title 10, United 
States Code, I am informing you of my decision to extend the 
period of production of the Naval Petroleum Reserves for a 
period of 3 years from April 5, 2012, the expiration date of 
the currently authorized period of production.
    Attached is a copy of the report investigating continued 
production of the Reserves, consistent with section

in the report, I certify that continued production from the 
Naval Petroleum Reserves is in the national interest.
