The White House,

Hon. Kevin McCarthy,
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 specified harmful foreign activities of the
Government of the Russian Federation declared in Executive
Order 14024 of April 15, 2021, which was expanded in scope in
Executive Order 14066 of March 8, 2022, and with respect to
which additional steps were taken in Executive Order 14039 of
August 20, 2021, Executive Order 14068 of March 11, 2022, and
Executive Order 14071 of April 6, 2022, is to continue in
effect beyond April 15, 2023.
Specified harmful foreign activities of the Government of
the Russian Federation--in particular, efforts to undermine the
conduct of free and fair democratic elections and democratic
institutions in the United States and its allies and partners;
to engage in and facilitate malicious cyber-enabled activities
against the United States and its allies and partners; to
foster and use transnational corruption to influence foreign
governments; to pursue extraterritorial activities targeting
dissidents or journalists; to undermine security in countries
and regions important to United States national security; and
to violate well-established principles of international law,
including respect for the territorial integrity of states--
continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States. Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to
continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order
14024 with respect to specified harmful foreign activities of
the Government of the Russian Federation.
Sincerely,
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Specified
Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation
On April 15, 2021, by Executive Order 14024, 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,
foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by
specified harmful foreign activities of the Government of the
Russian Federation. On March 8, 2022, I issued Executive Order
14066 to expand the scope of the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 14024. On August 20, 2021, March 11, 2022, and
April 6, 2022, I issued Executive Orders 14039, 14068, and
14071, respectively, to take additional steps with respect to
the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14024.
Specified harmful foreign activities of the Government of
the Russian Federation--in particular, efforts to undermine the
conduct of free and fair democratic elections and democratic
institutions in the United States and its allies and partners;
to engage in and facilitate malicious cyber-enabled activities
against the United States and its allies and partners; to
foster and use transnational corruption to influence foreign
governments; to pursue extraterritorial activities targeting 2
dissidents or journalists; to undermine security in countries
and regions important to United States national security; and
to violate well-established principles of international law,
including respect for the territorial integrity of states--
continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States. For this reason, the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 14024, which was expanded in scope by Executive
Order 14066, and with respect to which additional steps were
taken in Executive Orders 14039, 14068, and 14071, must
continue in effect beyond April 15, 2023.
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
14024.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
The White House, April 7, 2023.
