[GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]
May 15, 2023.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed
To the Congress of the United States:
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 Yemen declared in
Executive Order 13611 of May 16, 2012, is to continue in effect
beyond May 16, 2023.
The actions and policies of certain former members of the
Government of Yemen and others in threatening Yemen's peace,
security, and stability continue 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 13611 with respect to Yemen.

Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Yemen
On May 16, 2012, by Executive Order 13611, 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 actions and policies of certain members of the Government
of Yemen and others that threatened Yemen's peace, security,
and stability. These actions include obstructing the political
process in Yemen and blocking the implementation of the
agreement of November 23, 2011, between the Government of Yemen
and those in opposition to it, which provide for a peaceful
transition of power that meets the legitimate demands and
aspirations of the Yemeni people.
The actions and policies of certain former members of the
Government of Yemen and others in threatening Yemen's peace,
security, and stability continue 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 13611 on May 16, 2012, to
deal with that threat must continue in effect beyond May 16,
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
13611 with respect to Yemen.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
The White House, May 11, 2023.
