The White House,
Washington, October 6, 2021.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Madam 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 declared in
Executive Order 13894 of October 14, 2019, with respect to the
situation in and in relation to Syria, is to continue in effect
beyond October 14, 2021.
The situation in and in relation to Syria, and in
particular the actions by the Government of Turkey to conduct a
military offensive into northeast Syria, undermines the
campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or
ISIS, endangers civilians, and further threatens to undermine
the peace, security, and stability in the region, and continues
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 13894 with respect to the
situation in and in relation to Syria.
Sincerely,
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the
Situation in and in Relation to Syria
On October 14, 2019, by Executive Order 13894, the
President declared a national emergency pursuant to the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et
seq.) 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 Syria.
The situation in and in relation to Syria, and in
particular the actions by the Government of Turkey to conduct a
military offensive into northeast Syria, undermines the
campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or
ISIS, endangers civilians, and further threatens to undermine
the peace, security, and stability in the region, and 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 in Executive Order
13894 of October 14, 2019, must continue in effect beyond
October 14, 2021. 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 13894 with respect to the situation in and in
relation to Syria.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
The White House, October 6, 2021.
