  NOTICE STATING THAT THE CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH 
RESPECT TO THE TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE UNITED STATES OF SEPTEMBER 11, 
    2001 IS TO CONTINUE IN EFFECT BEYOND SEPTEMBER 14, 2002--PM 107

  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 to the 
Federal Register the enclosed notice, stating that the emergency 
declared with respect to the terrorist attacks on the United States of 
September 11, 2001, is to continue in effect for 1 year. Proclamation 
7463, Declaration of National Emergency by Reason of Certain Terrorist 
Attacks, was published in the Federal Register on September 18, 2001 
(66 Fed. Reg. 48199)
  The terrorist threat that led to the declaration on September 4, 
2001, of a national emergency continues. For this reason, I have 
determined that it is necessary to continue in effect after September 
14, 2002, the national emergency with respect to the terrorist threat.
                                                      George W. Bush.  
The White House, September 12, 2002.
