    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.

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

                                 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.
