 REPORT CONCERNING THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY RELATING TO CUBA AND OF THE 
  EMERGENCY AUTHORITY RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF THE ANCHORAGE AND 
         MOVEMENT OF VESSELS--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT--PM 11

  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following message 
from the President of the United States, together with an accompanying 
report; which was referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and 
Urban Affairs.

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, 
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 the 
enclosed notice, stating that the emergency declared with respect to 
the Government of Cuba's destruction of two unarmed U.S.-registered 
civilian aircraft in international airspace north of Cuba on February 
24, 1996, is to continue in effect beyond March 1, 1999, to the Federal 
Register for publication.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, February 24, 1999.
