                                         Washington, March 4, 2024.
Hon. Mike Johnson,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: Consistent with subsection 204(b) of the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1703(b), 
I hereby report that I have issued an Executive Order that 
terminates the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
13288 of March 6, 2003, and revokes that order, Executive Order 
13391 of November 22, 2005, and Executive Order 13469 of July 
25, 2008.
    The declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order 
13288 with respect to the actions and policies of certain 
members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to 
undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes or institutions, as 
relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Order 13391 
and as expanded by Executive Order 13469, should no longer be 
in effect.
    Although I continue to be concerned with the situation in 
Zimbabwe, particularly with respect to acts of violence and 
other human rights abuses against political opponents and with 
respect to public corruption, including misuse of public 
authority, I have determined that the declaration of a national 
emergency in Executive Order 13288 is no longer needed. 
Moreover, the United States Government will continue to use 
existing sanctions authorities to hold accountable persons 
involved in corruption and serious human rights abuse in 
Zimbabwe.
    Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to 
terminate the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
13288, and revoke that order, Executive Order 13391, and 
Executive Order 13469.
    I am enclosing a copy of the Executive Order I have issued.
            Sincerely,
                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.




























                            Executive Order

                              ----------                              


   Termination of Emergency With Respect to the Situation in Zimbabwe

    By the authority vested in me as President by the 
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, 
including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 
1601 et seq.) (NEA), and section 301 of title 3, United States 
Code,
    I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of 
America, find that the declaration of a national emergency in 
Executive Order 13288 of March 6, 2003, with respect to the 
actions and policies of certain members of the Government of 
Zimbabwe and other persons to undermine Zimbabwe's democratic 
processes or institutions, as relied upon for additional steps 
taken in Executive Order 13391 of November 22, 2005, and as 
expanded by Executive Order 13469 of July 25, 2008, should no 
longer be in effect. Although I continue to be concerned with 
the situation in Zimbabwe, particularly with respect to acts of 
violence and other human rights abuses against political 
opponents and with respect to public corruption, including 
misuse of public authority, the declaration of a national 
emergency in Executive Order 13288 is no longer needed. 
Accordingly, I hereby terminate the national emergency declared 
in Executive Order 13288, and revoke that order, Executive 
Order 13391, and Executive Order 13469, and further order:
    Section 1. Pursuant to section 202(a) of the NEA (50 U.S.C. 
1622(a)), termination of the national emergency declared in 
Executive Order 13288, as relied upon for additional steps 
taken in Executive Order 13391, and as expanded by Executive 
Order 13469, shall not affect any action taken or proceeding 
pending not finally concluded or determined as of the date of 
this order, any action or proceeding based on any act committed 
prior to the date of this order, or any rights or duties that 
matured or penalties that were incurred prior to the date of 
this order.
    Sec. 2. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to 
impair or otherwise affect:
          (i) the authority granted by law to an executive 
        department or agency, or the head thereof; or
          (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of 
        Management and Budget relating to budgetary, 
        administrative, or legislative proposals.
    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
applicable law and subject to the availability of 
appropriations.
    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any 
right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law 
or in equity by any party against the United States, its 
departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or 
agents, or any other person.

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
    The White House, March 4, 2024.
