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 threat posed by the advancement by countries of
concern in sensitive technologies and products critical for the
military, intelligence, surveillance, or cyber-enabled
capabilities of such countries declared in Executive Order
14105 of August 9, 2023, is to continue in effect beyond August
9, 2024.
Certain ongoing activities, such as the comprehensive,
long-term strategies of countries of concern that direct,
facilitate, or otherwise support advancements in sensitive
technologies and products that are critical to such countries'
military, intelligence, surveillance, or cyber-enabled
capabilities, significantly enhance such countries' ability to
conduct activities that threaten the national security of the
United States. As part of this ongoing strategy of advancing
the development of these sensitive technologies and products,
countries of concern are exploiting or have the ability to
exploit certain United States outbound investments, including
certain intangible benefits that often accompany United States
investments and that help companies succeed. Such investments
risk exacerbating this threat to United States national
security.
Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to
continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order
14105 with respect to the threat posed by the advancement by
countries of concern in sensitive technologies and products
critical for the military, intelligence, surveillance, or
cyber-enabled capabilities of such countries.
Sincerely,
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Advancement
by Countries of Concern in Sensitive Technologies and Products Critical
for the Military, Intelligence, Surveillance, or Cyber-Enabled
Capabilities of Such Countries
On August 9, 2023, by Executive Order 14105, I 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 of
the United States constituted by the advancement by countries
of concern in sensitive technologies and products critical for
the military, intelligence, surveillance, or cyber-enabled
capabilities of such countries. As described in Executive Order
14105, this threat to the national security of the United
States has its source in whole or substantial part outside the
United States, and certain United States investments risk
exacerbating this threat.
Certain ongoing activities, such as the comprehensive,
long-term strategies of countries of concern that direct,
facilitate, or otherwise support advancements in sensitive
technologies and products that are critical to such countries'
military, intelligence, surveillance, or cyber-enabled
capabilities, significantly enhance such countries' ability to
conduct activities that threaten the national security of the
United States. As part of this ongoing strategy of advancing
the development of these sensitive technologies and products,
countries of concern are exploiting or have the ability to
exploit certain United States outbound investments, including
certain intangible benefits that often accompany United States
investments and that help companies succeed. Such investments
risk exacerbating this threat to United States national
security.
For this reason, the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 14105 of August 9, 2023, must continue in
effect beyond August 9, 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 14105 with respect to the threat
posed by the advancement by countries of concern in sensitive
technologies and products critical for the military,
intelligence, surveillance, or cyber-enabled capabilities of
such countries.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
The White House, August 6, 2024.
