                                           Washington, May 9, 2017.
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 the Central African Republic declared in Executive 
Order 13667 of May 12, 2014, is to continue in effect beyond 
May 12, 2017.
    The situation in the Central African Republic, which has 
been marked by a breakdown of law and order, intersectarian 
tension, widespread violence and atrocities, and the pervasive, 
often forced recruitment and use of child soldiers, threatens 
the peace, security, or stability of the Central African 
Republic and the neighboring states, and continues to pose an 
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and 
foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, I have 
determined that it is necessary to continue the national 
emergency with respect to the Central African Republic declared 
in Executive Order 13667.
            Sincerely,
                                                   Donald J. Trump.

                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


  Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Central 
                            African Republic

    On May 12, 2014, by Executive Order 13667, the President 
declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign 
policy of the United States constituted by the situation in and 
in relation to the Central African Republic, which has been 
marked by a breakdown of law and order, intersectarian tension, 
widespread violence and atrocities, and the pervasive, often 
forced recruitment and use of child soldiers, and which 
threatens the peace, security, or stability of the Central 
African Republic and neighboring states.
    The situation in and in relation to the Central African 
Republic continues 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 on May 
12, 2014, to deal with that threat must continue in effect 
beyond May 12, 2017. Therefore, in accordance with section 
202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I 
am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in 
Executive Order 13667.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.
                                                   Donald J. Trump.
    The White House, May 9, 2017.
