To the Congress of the United States:
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 before 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 significant
narcotics traffickers centered in Colombia declared in
Executive Order 12978 of October 21, 1995, is to continue in
effect beyond October 21, 2019.
The circumstances that led to the declaration on October
21, 1995, of a national emergency continue to exist. The
actions of significant narcotics traffickers centered in
Colombia continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat
to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the
United States and to cause an extreme level of violence,
corruption, and harm in the United States and abroad. For this
reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 12978 with
respect to significant narcotics traffickers centered in
Colombia.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, October 15, 2019.

----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Significant
Narcotics Traffickers Centered in Colombia
On October 21, 1995, by Executive Order 12978, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to
significant narcotics traffickers centered in Colombia pursuant
to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to
the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the
United States constituted by the actions of significant
narcotics traffickers centered in Colombia and the extreme
level of violence, corruption, and harm such actions cause in
the United States and abroad.
The actions of significant narcotics traffickers centered
in Colombia continue to threaten the national security, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States and cause an extreme
level of violence, corruption, and harm in the United States
and abroad. For this reason, the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 12978 of October 21, 1995, and the measures
adopted pursuant thereto to deal with that emergency, must
continue in effect beyond October 21, 2019. 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 with respect to significant narcotics traffickers
centered in Colombia declared in Executive Order 12978.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Donald J. Trump.
The White House, October 15, 2019.
