   REPORT ON THE CONTINUATION OF EMERGENCY REGARDING EXPORT CONTROL 
 REGULATIONS UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 13222 DATED AUGUST 
                            17, 2001--PM 59

  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 for publication the enclosed notice, stating that the 
emergency caused by the lapse of the Export Administration Act of 1979, 
as amended, is to continue in effect for 1 year beyond August 17, 2008.
                                                      George W. Bush.  
The White House, July 23, 2008.
