                                         Washington, July 16, 2024.
Hon. Mike Johnson,
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 
situation in Mali declared in Executive Order 13882 of July 26, 
2019, is to continue in effect beyond July 26, 2024.
    The situation in Mali, including repeated violations of 
ceasefire arrangements made pursuant to the 2015 Agreement on 
Peace and Reconciliation in Mali; a coup d'etat resulting in 
the termination of that agreement; the expansion of terrorist 
activities into southern and central Mali; the intensification 
of drug trafficking and trafficking in persons, human rights 
abuses, and hostage-taking; the presence of foreign mercenaries 
threatening peace, security, and stability; and the 
intensification of attacks against civilians, the Malian 
defense and security forces, the United Nations 
Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali 
(MINUSMA), and international security presences, 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 13882 with respect to the 
situation in Mali.
            Sincerely,
                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


      Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Mali

    On July 26, 2019, by Executive Order 13882, 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 Mali.
    The situation in Mali, including repeated violations of 
ceasefire arrangements made pursuant to the 2015 Agreement on 
Peace and Reconciliation in Mali; a coup d'etat resulting in 
the termination of that agreement; the expansion of terrorist 
activities into southern and central Mali; the intensification 
of drug trafficking and trafficking in persons, human rights 
abuses, and hostage-taking; the presence of foreign mercenaries 
threatening peace, security, and stability; and the 
intensification of attacks against civilians, the Malian 
defense and security forces, the United Nations 
Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali 
(MINUSMA), and international security presences, 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 
13882 on July 26, 2019, must continue in effect beyond July 26, 
2024. 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 
13882 with respect to the situation in Mali.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
    The White House, July 16, 2024.
