                                           The White House,
                                        Washington, August 6, 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 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.
