The White House,
Washington, October 31, 2016.
Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: Section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic
termination of a national emergency unless, within 90 days
prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress
a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect
beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with this provision,
I have sent to the Federal Register for publication the
enclosed notice stating that the national emergency with
respect to Sudan is to continue in effect beyond November 3,
2016.
The crisis constituted by the actions and policies of the
Government of Sudan that led to the declaration of a national
emergency in Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997, and the
expansion of that emergency in Executive Order 13400 of April
26, 2006, and with respect to which additional steps were taken
in Executive Order 13412 of October 13, 2006, has not been
resolved. These actions and policies continue to pose an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States. Therefore, I have
determined that it is necessary to continue the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13067 with respect to
Sudan.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama.
Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Sudan
On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to Sudan
and, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers
Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706), took related steps to deal with the
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States posed by the actions and
policies of the Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, in
Executive Order 13400, the President determined that the
conflict in Sudan's Darfur region posed an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign
policy of the United States, expanded the scope of the national
emergency to deal with that threat, and ordered the blocking of
property of certain persons connected to the conflict. On
October 13, 2006, the President issued Executive Order 13412 to
take additional steps with respect to the national emergency
and to implement the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act of
2006 (Public Law 109-344).
The actions and policies of the Government of Sudan
continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security and foreign policy of the United States. For
this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13067 of November 3, 1997, expanded on April 26, 2006, and with
respect to which additional steps were taken on October 13,
2006, must continue in effect beyond November 3, 2016.
Therefore, consistent with section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year
the national emergency with respect to Sudan declared in
Executive Order 13067.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Barack Obama.
The White House, October 31, 2016.
